Okay, let’s tackle this. So Alexis Skinner has a PhD-level position as a Visiting Assistant Professor, which is a tenure-track position. This role is typically compensated well, especially considering the institution. The location is Baltimore, MD, which is a mid-sized city. Academics with her level of experience and education, especially in the humanities, tend to charge lower rates compared to those in STEM fields or in industry. Averages for visiting assistant professors in the humanities can range from $40–$80 per hour. Given her PhD and teaching experience, I’ll estimate around $75 per hour.
