UCI does seem to offer lecturer security. I was in grad school there with a woman who started as an undergrad, continued as a grad student, and afterwards stayed on as a gen chem instructor. She has been there at least 15 years by now...
ReplyDeleteHonestly, although Irvine is a nice city, that sounds like a really terrible idea. In the event that she gets canned, I imagine any job hunt afterwards will be really challenging, her CV will show a total lack of independence or willingness to change. I also wonder how her colleagues treat her, she went from being a subordinate to being one of their peers.
