Compensation spread. Offered wages on Southern Methodist University’s H-1B petitions range from $46,000 at the low end to $323,879 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $97,933. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Postdoctoral Fellow (13 petitions at $56,423 avg), followed by Research Associate 2 (Particle Physics Electronics Engineer) and Assistant Professor of Finance. H-1B salaries reported on LCAs must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the role and worksite, so the spread also tracks wage-level geography and seniority.
