2011 University Working Conditions
Following is a list of the basic work conditions at universities in South Korea. They are gathered from advertisements on eslcafe, teaching and jobs in korea, emails, and responses to a query I made on Facebook.
I have a few more to add, so if you sent me some information and do not see it here, be patient. I should have it updated within a week. Also, if you would like to add info, please do so in the comments that follow. If you have specific questions about working in Korean universities, feel free to ask me an email. Despite the lack of activity on this blog, I do get weekly emails and I do my best to reply (though sometimes I am slower than I'd like)
