I’m not going to tell you exactly – but Professors in this country are in my opinion quite well paid. According to a survey Prof salaries in this country range from about £40,000 to nearly £80,000, although I think to be at the upper end of that range you probably need to do something amazing like win a Nobel prize!

RIght at the moment I am living on my savings because not being paid at all. The last time my university in London had money to pay me was in November and although we have now got a grant for three years more work, I won’t start being paid until June, when I start working again for the University of Burgundy in France. My pay then will be about 2000 euros a month (1750 pounds)

It varies from scientist to scientist, it’s not generally very well paid but I get £1000 a month and £17.00 an hour for teaching students in the lab.

Well, normally, it’s not considered polite to ask that question, but I think it’s good for students to know what the earning potential is for various positions, so I’ll answer that. My base salary is $86,000, and my annual bonus is based on how well the company does + how well my supervisor thinks I did – up to ~ 10%. I’m at the entry level for Ph.D.s in my company, and I don’t manage anyone. If I get a promotion I could make an additional $20-30,00 and my bonus could be up to 25%. Out of that I have to pay for health insurance, and all my taxes and such, and I have a retirement plan and a pension plan. My benefits are pretty much industry standard for my type of work, in corporations. People who do what I do in academia make much less.
