Thank you!

salary range for Assist Prof: [SR9500 - SR15000]?

In the US, the salary usually will eb around US$4000 for AP. The pay in Saudi is supposed to be higher than that in the States.

I heard a rumor that it can be around US$10000 per month, but not sure. That is why I am here to seek your opinion.

Thanks!

What are your qualifications?

It will depend on your passport, eyes colour, and years of experience.

007, I am afraid that with the wave of saudization of university positions, what matters is no longer your passport or eyes colour, but rather qualifications and experience because their pay scale is strictly dictated by high offices in the ministry. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the only governmental place that still openly discriminate in their hiring practices is the colleges under the Royal Commission of Yanbu and Jubail: JIC, YIC, YUC and JUC. they have two different scales: one for 'developed countries' and another for the 'developing countries candidates.

So, non-Saudi APs don't usually enjoy the kind of job security their Saudi peers naturally do . You will need to have a needed qualification with strong research background to survive.

As for the typical Anglo-saxon looks, well! Yes, it easily gives you a free ticket in EFL language schools or even prep-programmes, but it is not as easy in government universities.

My recommendation: Try PSU, PMU, AlFaidal Uni, or any private uni that ' brag over and sometimes 'display' the number of the blued eyed

Good luck

At private universities, it depends on what you teach, and if you are male or female. Math professors and engineering professors make more, English professors make less. Men make more, women make less.
