Can anyone share the job grades, designations and pay scale for professorial faculty in Singapore's universities?

Refer to MOM wage survey: ://stats.mom.gov.sg/Pages/Occupational-Wages-Tables2017.aspx

Surprisingly, 'University Lecturers' are within the top 5 income earners in Singapore.

I'm an assistant prof at one of the 3 big business schools in Singapore and my annual salary including summer support and housing allowance is around 250k SGD.

I received a low ball offer for Assoc Prof at one of the newer universities in Singapore. Definitely much lower than what I’m already earning.... It’s quite disappointing really.

It’s an ‘open contract’. Can anyone advise if this is the Singapore equivalence of tenure?

care to share roughly how much you are offered?

S$10,100 per month...

This is okie actually. What are your qualifications?

I have to agree, that is low for an assoc prof position.

Ok. Can I ask which field?

The reason is that it is field dependent. If you are in one of the newest universities (non technical one), you can multiply that by 15 to 16 (i.e. 150k to 160k).

Also, they should tell you the salary range for your scale. That will give you an idea on the upside.

Assistant prof
 

I’m an assistant prof at SMU and the salary (base, summer, housing) is around 260k.

Full prof in stanford here. 1.2m all in. Have produced several top papers over my decades of research. Includes consultation for top companies.

at least 200K for an assistant professor, 250K for an associate professor and 300k for a professor. Average BP is at least about 1.5 months

I started a couple of years ago as a tenured A/Prof. After negotiating quite a lot, my pay (inc. base salary, foreign staff payment (in lieu of pension contributions) and housing allowance... but excluding annual performance bonus) is S$215k. This is not in a STEM field and not in the business school.

Too high for profs, I propose they should earn as follows.

Asst Prof = $1800/month
Assoc Prof = $2200/month
Prof = $2500/month

Contributions to the uni cannot be denoted by dollars and cents, and we can always hire cheaper, better, faster academics from other countries.

lol.... nus offered me 7500/mth for tenure track - assistant prof...

outside private companies offered me 8400 - 10500 for analyst roles.

prior to my doctorate in STEM, i have 3years working experience.

Ended up choosing tenure track cos I have a pool of sec/jc kids that I am teaching tuition - i can take home around 1k/week (h3 kids I charge 110/hr)

Its been 6 months since i made the decision, for now 0 regret. only regret is trying to research and publish better papers to compete with all the oversea smartass.. ==

Insider here: 240K for B-school assistant prof. 120K for math.
