The sums don't add up

I was amused to read the UCEA (Universities and Colleges Employers' Association) press briefing, that notes that the average academic salary is circa £40k.

Post-doctoral research staff start on £19,460.

It's woeful.

And it's not exactly a compelling advert for a career in Higher Education, is it?
