This is what my spouse said when I read this aloud... Normally all positions require a Ph.D. and relevant experience. Minimum starting salary: $30,000.00 /annum. Full range of staff benefits.
A real posting for a PhD required position at the Univ of Manitoba. My doctorate program cost me four times as much and that didn't include the residency expenses. Although this is not in Ontario and cost of living variances aside, it would still take me about 10 yrs before I could pay my student loans. It is a bit of a concern that as I look at teaching possibilities to complement my consulting work, these are the ranges in salaries that I see.
Research questions came to mind: What does this translate to when it comes to instructor performance? What does this translate to when it comes to migration patterns? What does this mean for morale and perceived student satisfaction? What does it mean for perception of the city and province?
Just wondering.
I like the University of Manitoba programs actually and it would be great to work with Will Robinson , Stephen Downes and George Siemens but it was something I thought I'd share here in case you were looking at these possibilities as well.

So, an earned PhD, with experience, for C$30,000? Wishful thinking, and I hope this does not show an oversaturation in the field / market . . .
