Here's some reference data. At U of Michigan, these professorial wages are typical in CS (and are publicly listed): lecturer: $80K assistant: $110K associate: $110-130K full: $150-190K BTW, I see that the UofM CS dept. employs a lot more (3X?) lecturers in CS now than they did 15 years ago -- another sign of high demand/low supply for PhDs in academe.
