Abstract: The Information Bulletin investigates job and income satisfaction of university professors, their job motivation, main career strategies and perspectives. Analysis of professors’ career strategies focuses on their career plans and trajectories, workplace mobility, collaborations with leading Russian universities and international collaborations, availability of social programs for teachers at universities and their participation in these programs. The study shows that university faculty are more satisfied with their jobs rather than income. Moreover, a substantial differentiation in the level of satisfaction with job and income is present in accordance with work position. Faculty members engaged in administrative and managerial work are much more satisfied with their job than those who undertake teaching and research activities. Preferred trajectories of career development between faculty members are teaching and administrative trajectories. Level of participation in various social programs among professors is negligible. The faculty is barely involved in voluntary health insurance and pension insurance schemes. Collaboration with leading universities has not been sufficiently developed. However, the majority of Russian faculty are willing to participate in an internship program in leading universities, as well as to collaborate on research activities with professors who work at such institutions. These findings indicate a great potential for inter-university collaboration in transferring quality standards of research and teaching activities from leading universities to other Russian higher education institutions.
