They placed an ad on the job board in December. I applied and recently sent a follow-up email, but there's been no response.
Has anybody else applied and/or heard back from them? |

They probably took a semester break in December. Give it some time.
By the way, this university is brand-spankin' new. If you get an interview, be sure to ask the right questions in terms of teaching in a start-up program. |

I'll give them a couple more weeks before I send a belligerent, all-caps email. 
I've worked in Kurdistan before, so I'm familiar with the usual bumps and hurdles. This being a new program, it should just make it all the more fun! |

| I can't imagine why you'd want to work in Duhok but if you end up going send me a PM. I live nearby and would be cool to meet other expats. |

Dohuk is beautiful. I've sent a feeler email out to them as well. Currently working in Suli. I'm not a very social person, so the lack of a 'scene' is not an issue for me. It'll be like Suli, but even more beautiful and with a nicer salary.
I was going to apply at American University in Suli, however they've announced a hiring freeze. There is xpat flight from Suli in general because the economy is not good and companies are leaving. In Dohuk they've got an established oil economy.
They've not responded to my email either. I'm going to try to reach them by phone and get the details on the contact hours and the housing situation and will pm anyone who's interested in what I find out. The rumors are that they are looking for a large number of instructors pronto. |

| The mountains are beautiful but personally I don't really find the town to be attractive. I think it's pretty different from Sulaymaniyah because it just doesn't have things like the eating options, shopping, a cinema, things like that. |

I also haven't heard back from them.
It could be that the semester break runs through January. |

| I've taken another offer so I'm no longer vying for a position. For what it's worth, a few days ago I received a reply from my follow-up inquiry to their "info@" email. They told me to send my documents to HR, which I had already done. Whatever's going on there, it doesn't seem like they're in a big hurry to start the hiring process. |
