|
|
I'm a U.S. citizen with an MSEd (TESOL), 6 years' full-time EFL teaching experience at the university level in Japan, and 10 solo publications & 1 shared authorship in not-great journals.
What kind of university work and what kind of working conditions could I expect in Bangkok? I love city life and I prioritize urban environment over the academic level of the university.
Thanks! |

There are about 33 unis listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_in_Bangkok
It doesn't seem to list those in the suburbs such as Thonburi across the river.
A number of them have 'international programs' with the curriculum taught in English. I'm guessing you may get 65k baht, around 2,000 USD per month or a bit more. Not really sure though.
Best to contact some places you are interested in and ask them directly or see if they provide any info on their website. |

In my experience you will probably find something without much trouble in a university language center (like CULI)
but
are unlikely to find full time work as a guest lecturer in regular or international programs at most universities. Those positions often require an ABD or PhD/EdD.
.
When you do find full time uni work (without a PhD) the pay is typically crap - 15-18 class hours per week and 32-35k baht. PART TIME work on the other hand can pay well if you have the connections to get the job (I was getting b1500 per class hour). |
