cucaracha [Registered User] 30 September 2022 20:49	Thoughts on PhD stipend pay User: cucaracha - 30 September 2022 20:49 The doctoral stipend in the UK (outside of London) for 2022/23 is £17,668 tax-free. This is a 10% pay rise from last year 2021/2022. Thoughts? Is this good, bad, reasonable, horrifying? Liveable? Is it fair? Does it reflect how much PhDers are worth and deserve to be paid(?!)

It is already know since long time that PhD students are underpaid. In particular in the UK in comparison to West Europe. Postdocs are also underpaid in the UK. Academia is cruel but it is what it is. 17,668 net a year is livable but not great.
