How about lecturing at monash sunway or nottingham? my cousin got an offer as lecturer (about to complete her phd soon from singapore's nus), monthly pay about RM7k net. She think the money is not that fantastic but she is in it for the future, as in the experience clocked with monash or nottingham will be useful for future career advancement.
i told her better stay in singapore and lecture in polytechnic, will earn at least S$5k per month. well, its her future though... any lecturers from monash or nottingham wanna comment on the work environment there? politics? etc etc...

QUOTE(f4tE @ Jan 21 2009, 04:26 PM)  .. not bad..like dat i also wanna work as lecturer d..your cousin in monash or nottingham to get 7k? got shortcut to get masters in science also..1 yr only..my boss interviewing candidate for scientist then quite a few applicant got their degree and masters very fast...23 yrs old got masters in science d with some kind of private university or college..but not sure which...  But to move the ladder, one would need to build up research publications. Which is what good uni trains phd students to do, and is what monash looks for cos they started to be research intensive 2 yrs ago. |

QUOTE(f4tE @ Jan 21 2009, 05:22 PM) need to be lecturer then only can get a lot of publications unless u work as phd student for many many yrs... Er...i think no link between being a lecturer and being able to get lots of publications. Rather, to become a lecturer (or assistant professor in usa context) in good university, u need lots of publication. And a good lecturer should have lots of publications.... it rhymes  |

QUOTE(azarimy @ Jan 21 2009, 08:27 PM) underpaid due to basic salary, yes. but doesnt mean we're having no other income. i'll give u my own personal example: iii. knowledge sharing as academics we're often called to other educational institutions to give lecture or share our knowledge. at the moment the minimum pay for us is RM200 per hour. with a PhD it'll go higher, and ofcourse with a professorship, u can definitely demand alot. for example, i taught UTM's SPACE programme for 6 credit hours per week. that's easily RM1200, RM4800 per month. there are other things also. like i said, the basic salary is low. but doesnt stop u to earn more  a.k.a part-time teaching. my cousin told me monash does not allow their own faculty members to teach else where as faculty is their own asset and should not share with others. wat a pity. |
