> U.K. universities seem to want the research output and grant funding of U.S.-style "tenure-track research faculty", but without being willing to give the relatively low teaching loads that U.S.-style research faculty have, instead having teaching expectations more akin to what in the U.S. are called lecturers or teaching faculty, or just regular faculty at universities not considered research universities (these faculty in the U.S. don't have particularly high research/grant expectations). And to sweeten the pot, they also offer fairly poor pay. At least in my field (economics) UK teaching loads tend to be lower than in the US but the pay is much lower. [Note: I'm not referring to the top tier in either country.]
