you seem like a nice chap- and there are numerous people trying to warn you on this one-

it's alright for a year as a step to something better...but beyond that- wow.

Makemischief

you're right, we did PM - went right out of my head!

Thanks for the comments. I guess I was just fishing around for any more info before making a final decision. All points noted and thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread.

I see that Kyungpook has an ad up now for these same positions. I was thinking about applying but this thread has me spooked. So can I ask, did you decide to take the job last year, and if so, what was the result? Was it horrible?

The students are great, but management is another story. Nepotism is rampant in the Freshman Conversation program, and the university gives zero support towards the program because it doesn't bring in any revenue.

If you've never held a uni position, it's a start.
