Lots of writers and philosophy postgrads get paid less than this. I don't mean to discourage people with fewer qualifications - a PhD is not required - but we posted a Craigslist ad recently for a different potential position, at a similar salary, and got applications from PhDs with 3 years experience. In any case, we shall see what the market thinks of our offer, and I see no reason for you to take offense at it a priori.
Like I said in response to Anna, I'm not offended. I just think you could have done better in setting expectations.
It occurs to me that the qualifications are framed as skills rather than (in some cases) expensive credentials, and this might make a lowish salary make more sense.
