Based on my unscientific study, the higher the postdoc salary, the lousier the program is. There are a few exceptions, such as some well known elite program Whitehead, etc. which are enforced by institutional policy. Good people doing postdoc in those program have fellowship anyway, even for foreigner. Postdoc is really a training/transition period, one shouldn't choose it solely based on salary. Many M.D. labs pay more for postdoc.
what do you mean super hard for new faculty? thanks

Maybe it really means graduate students are not as good as most people think and it's in a not so good part of country... so new faculty has no chance to succeed... In my opinion, it gets super good undergraduate program, but so so graduate program.

don't stigmatize/blindly judge us graduate students at Vanderbilt... "not as good as most people think"...hehe, how do you know? we have many experts working in some basic research fields, who do not regularly publish in Science, Nature, Cell. But impact factor does not directly translate to quality of research.

"not as regularly publish in quality of research. My apology if that offended you. I want to clarify that I was referring to graduate school overall, not biomedical specifically. This shows where various graduate programs rank in the nation (bottom of article http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/reporter/index.html?ID=8611). Overall, it is not nearly as high as your undergraduate program.
