Negotiating for an academic position is not like buying a car or a house, where you will have little or no contact with the seller afterwards. You may very well end up in a significant long-term professional relationship with many of the people you will be talking to, so you want to get what you need while setting the stage for long-term success. This chat will discuss how to make this happen, while having everyone on-board afterwards.
