These ranges should be used in determining the salaries for officers of research throughout the University for the 2026-2027 academic year.

The Office of the Provost is launching a new designation, Designated Academic Colleague (DAC), to support scholarly engagement between Columbia personnel and their non-Columbia colleagues in the field.

Columbia University now requires all new full-time and part-time academic hires to complete a pre-hire attestation disclosing any prior discriminatory, harassing, retaliatory, or other forms of misconduct.

These ranges should be used in determining the salaries for officers of research throughout the University for the 2025-2026 academic year.

The U.S. Department of Labor has revised the Fair Labor Standards Act to raise the minimum salary threshold for overtime eligibility, affecting Columbia University and other employers nationwide, with increases to $844 per week starting July 1, 2024, and $1,128 per week starting January 1, 2025.
