Which is the minimun contractul salary for a new employee with a PhD title in chemistry in a industry UK?

[Gef]

There's no minimum, depends on the job. Can't think of any reason why a PhD should get more than anybody else.

Gef is kind of right - the minimum wage would be �5.05 per hour whether you hold a PhD, or whether you failed all your GCSEs.  This is because in this country the qualification PhD gives you no rights or entitlements (other than to use the title Dr.) - this is not always the case around the world, for example in Germany, tertiary level qualifications typically give professional entitlements, which will therefore entitle the holder to a higher salary within their profession.  It does take them about 20 years to qualify though!!

If you have a Chemistry degree and a PhD too, then a good option would be to work in a pharmaceutical company.  In a Pharma company, a PhD makes ALL the difference!  In a big company you will earn a starting salary of between �30,000 - �34,000....
