Nomad Soul that is what I did't quite get.. and when I asked for exact figure I was told they will let me know as soon as they calculated the package  but I expect it will fall may be closer to the high end.. But still this should be the base range with housing paid on top .. I am searching other universities hence I am asking what should be the acceptable range |

As mentioned, salaries (and benefits) have been declining. Perhaps it's best to figure out what income you and your family require in order to meet your daily needs and particular financial situation as opposed to trying to determine what's generally acceptable. |

I haven't lived in the UAE before so I don't know what the income that is adequate to meet daily needs there and save some.. I might think 20k is ok when I convert it to my currency and compare it to my living in my own country .. but when I arrive there I find different expenses and needs that I was not aware of.. hope you got my point  |

Given that we know nothing about you and your personal life (e.g., debts/financial obligations, number of school-aged dependents (tuition costs), spending habits, housing size, transportation needs, etc.), you and your spouse need to figure out how much you'll have to earn to support a family of X. Start by checking out https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/ for a general idea of costs. There are also several good UAE expat websites with forums that focus on life in the Emirates. These sites reach a mainstream audience. |

HI Dano1983,
Your nationality have everything to do with your salary, first before your experience, your cv, before everything
If your nationality is Arabic you will be at the lower base.
The salary depends also on where you obtained your Phd (Europe? America? Arabic country?)
Then only they will see with your experience.
Between 20 000 and 26 000 there is a huge difference of salary.... |

That is sad and such an ignorant way of thinking. I am European with PhD from Europe but that is shouldn't be the assessment criteria  It should be experience and ability to do the job but hey their country and their rules...

| No .. I am talking about the selection criteria and those who would employ/pay someone based on ethnicity |
