Letter: Fair pay

Published 1 February 2003

From Robin Matthews, Cranfield University

There is nothing wrong with the arithmetic at the School of Mathematics at the University of New South Wales, which offers researchers a 3/4 research and 1/3 teaching job (Feedback, 18 January).

Feedback is obviously not an academic. The successful applicant should consider themselves lucky that they are only expected to work 8.3 per cent more time than they are paid for. Luxury!
