Dear All,
One of my friends is looking for a person
who can take up a postdoc for one year in Canada
( 1500 canadian dollars including tax per month )
This may be able to be extended subject to
successive grant availability.
Just curious, since I'm not in academia, but is this a typical
compensation ($18,000/yr). Is this for a full time job? Or is the
person going to be out getting some other funds, and the subject
research is just part of their overall work. Or do they get some
other stipend/living allowance. (Here in California, this would be
just about minimum wage: $8/hr = $16k/yr)
I'm at a private non-profit research lab doing cancer/genetics
research and I am pretty sure we pay post docs according to the NIH
scale which starts at around 37k for someone with 0-1 years
experience and goes to about 51k for someone with 7+ years (if you
want to do some googling you can find the NIH postdoc stipend
scale). These stipends are exempt from FICA tax. If the income paid
is determined to be subject to FICA tax then the postdoc is
considered an employee and they get paid a salary that is a little
higher than the stipends
