(December 2013) Statistics about Postdoc Salaries in NYC.
The current National Research Service Award (NRSA) minimum annual stipend for postdoctoral trainees is $39,264 while for graduate students it is $22,032 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-12-033.html). NRSA stipend levels are used as a benchmark by many institutes across the United States to set compensation levels for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees. NRSA postdoctoral trainee stipends are set significantly higher (1.78 fold greater) than the stipend levels for graduate students in order to reflect the difference in years of experience, training, and earned degrees (M.D. or Ph.D.) that postdoctoral trainees have achieved.
