Hi Jakub, these are standard rates for EECS PhD students (PhD students in other disciplines get paid less). Here are a couple as an example:
Berkeley EECS PhD students are paid $45K per year at the PhD level. (from personal acquaintances at in the Berkeley EECS program)
MIT EECS PhD students are paid ~$49.2K per year at the PhD level. (source)
Ah ok, I thought “academic researcher” referred to professors/lecturers/postdocs, not PhD students.
