My experience is that, in the end, it all depends on the size of the “pot” of money they have to spend. If they don’t have what you ask for, even if the ask if eminently reasonable, then the work will go to someone who will do it for less. (I run into this problem all the time getting more computer-savvy people to work for my lab. My grant is what my grant is. If they come work for me, it is more because they like the work than for the money. They could earn much more with those same skills elsewhere.)
For specialized, technical work like SPSS (does “help” mean “advising” or does help mean “doing the analysis for us”?), I would think double whatever your minimum wage is, at least. Again, you will know better than I whether that seems like a paltry or an exorbitant amount on your campus. Chris …..
