For your information, the A8 salary level equates to about US$28,000, which is a quite reasonable salary in Cyprus (equal to about twice the national average) and income tax deductions are minimal. An EEP position is the equivalent of a renewable lectureship/tutorship appointment, i.e., it is not a tenure track professorial position. The nominal teaching workload is 450 hours, i.e., the equivalent of 5 courses (x 3hrs) for 30 weeks. The academic year is organized in two 14-week semesters: Fall (beginning of September until the Christmas break in December) and Winter (end of January - end of May). There is a two week (Orthodox) Easter break which comes towards the end of the second semester. Although there are no summer courses, EEP faculty are required to be on campus during the months of June and July and engaged in curricular activities (course design, development, evaluation, pedagogical innovation, instructional technology initiatives, professional workshops, etc.). Please note the application deadline of December 8 since the administration is very strict about this. If you are interested in applying, please feel free to contact me for any further information you might require.
