NAME Job Spreadsheet 8/29/2025

This is the 8th (I think) of the every-few-weeks-or-so formatting of the NAME job list (https://www.thename.org/job-openings) as a spreadsheet.

As before:

I do not guarantee accuracy. I took a quick look at each ad. I may have missed something or misread something. You get what you pay for.

Some places did hourly wages. I calculated the yearly rate on 40 hrs a week, 50 weeks a year. YMMV

I didn’t go into depth with perqs. There’s a lot of variation, and they can be important.

I’m not rechecking continued listings to see if they’ve changed anything (like salary). If you are a Chief and you’ve increased your salary, let me know and I’ll change it.

I normalized the salaries to “Knoxville Dollars” (KD) because that’s where I live. In other words, a salary of $304,865 in San Diego is the equivalent of $181,273 in Knoxville. I’m now using ChatGPT to do this.

Some offices have better facilities than others — CTs, Neuropath support, etc. I didn’t deal with that.

Some places had “up to xxx” in their salary but no base, I just put the same number in both upper and lower columns.

The difference between lower salary and higher salary is a difference in starting salary (e.g. with our without board certification or experience) for others it’s starting versus being there awhile. It was hard to tell the difference, sometimes. Look for yourself.

The sheet is sorted by max raw salary rather than date.

Note that the table scrolls horizontally
As before, if any of you Chiefs see an error, drop me a line.
