    Hi, does anyone know what the pay is like in private universities for a lecturer with a PhD?
    Per hour නේද. Field එක අනුව වෙනස් වෙනවා හැබැයි දැන් සාමාන්‍යයෙන් 7.5k - 15k

    Most of the private universities are low balling. Last year ACBT was offering 2200 for per hour for visiting lecturers in their foundation program.

    I don't know about the ACBT. But in SLIIT, they are paying quite good for the lecturers specially with good research background (H index > 10)

    She is underpaid :(

    As stated in comments herein, SLIIT should have been paying higher salaries. I have seen the E Fac staff and damn, they got some of the best portion of Gov universities (including the best Geotechnical Engineer I have associated with, who was the former Dean of E Fac, SLIIT).

    Depends on uni and your scope of work.

    Visiting Lec - Paid on Hourly rate - ranged from 3000+
    Full time - you'll have to negotiate, compared to your subject, your expertise, qualifications, your commitment etc and the grade they are going to settle you in..
