- yodsanklai 6y agoNo, a junior researcher / assistant professor would earn about 2000 euros per month. After 10-15 years, they can expect 3000 euros but it'll stop there unless they get a full professor position (which are hard to get). I'd say a qualified engineer should be able to earn twice as much.
- collyw 6y agoI find that hard to believe as I got more than that working as a technician ten years ago in an academic institute in Spain, and it isn't well paid here.

Sorry, it's in French: starting salary for an assistant professor 1727.49 euros. It's similar for a CNRS/INRIA researcher. In practice it's a little higher. After about 15 years, you'll get 3000 euros. Many people get stuck there but it's possible to get a full professor / director of research position.
