What's the situation? I hate when this is part of initial interviews.

the situation as in position? assistant production editor
I am presently in a gig-job where I can't pay both my rent and my onerous medical bills

As in your relationship to them, how this is coming up. Are you renewing or something? I just bump around salaried desk jobs and won't be much help to you. Good luck with it.

I would be a new hire at an academic institution

Oh. And they want people they are interviewing to tell them salary expectation, with no dollar figures being on their ad? That's the worst. I'm certain I've been screened out of jobs I probably didn't want anyway for answering too high. All I can say is give some reasonable estimate of what that position ought to pay. good luck
