I know this is an ESL site but... I am interested in working in the Middle East and not just in ESL but also in business or science as I have two grad degrees. I notice that many unis in KSA are looking for PhDs but will accept a master's. Are they many PhDs working in non-ESL positions are unis?

Your question isn't clear to me. Are you asking if there are PhDs working in Gulf universities? Or are you asking if MAs often get hired as professors without a PhD?

Probably not at the top places. There are still plenty of PhD's desperate for a job too. The best chances would be at small private universities around the Gulf. I taught accounting and basic business courses at HCT in the UAE and at a small private college in Oman. But, although AUS flew me in for an interview, they feared that the lack of a PhD would affect their US accreditation.

But you lose nothing by applying... Cool
