 Posted: Sat Apr 22, 2006 2:19 pm Post subject: Low salaried uni posts |
 |
|
I was surprised when one of the people PMed about uni posts didn't realize there are 'low' salary full time uni positions. One place I went to in Saitama offered a 3 million salary (with the bonuses included!) for a 5 day full time post, 9-5 every day, teaching 10-12 koma a week!
I'm just wondering, what is the lowest uni salary you have seen posted or were offered in Japan (the above job wasn't offered to me, but after leaving the interview, I was wondering if it would have been worth it for the experience with salary cut I would have been taking)? I have seen others with another job in Chiba at around 3.2 million, again for 5 days a week.
It seems that the jobs that are on offer are offering salaries that are getting lower every year, for both tenured and limited contract posts. Let me know if I'm wrong (I hope so  ). |

12 Koma is considered a lot for a full time post. At the moment I teach ten and two part time. My previous job I taught eight full time.
The cheapest job I have seen was in kagoshima for about 250,000 yen a month, the same as working at NOVA. A Masters wasn't needed for full time uni position either.
Ritsumeikan offers 4.5 million for its shokutaku posts, and they teach about 12-13 classes. |

| If you want to break into the university market I would recommend you take it. Exeperience counts for a lot here. I have to include myself in that surprize though. I teach 6 koma. I basically thought all other university teachers did the same. |
