Howdy Max,
Out of curiosity, why did you leave? Find a better job elsewhere? Wanted to get out of sleepy Weimar?
Ich finde diese Job ein bisschen interessant, aber denke ich, das meine Frau mag nicht Weimar. Sie kommt aus Hamburg und vielleicht Weimar ist zu klein. :D

At the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is another position open. Since understanding basic german is a requirement, the announcement follows in german. This position is more or less what I was doing there when I was employed there. Please also apply even if you don't fulfill the requirements completely. And let me know if you applied. M.

It's certainly no secret, so I might as well respond on the list: A yes/no answer isn't possible so I will elaborate a bit: I enjoyed working here, it is a really nice setting, skilled, creative and eager students, great colleagues, a lot of freedom in what and how to teach, etc. Weimar is sleepy, but it also has some benefits which are hard to find elsewhere. I chose to live here, rather than in Berlin (like many colleagues) because of reasons like the short distances and the nature around. Positions at German universities like the one I had (and the one now opened) are limited to 6 years, and non extensible. I had been working for the Bauhaus-Universität for 5 years, so I started to look around for other options. I found one: since September I am Professor at the Yeungnam University in Gyeongsan (Daegu), Korea. It's very exciting to be there. I work with sculpture and painting students, which is a great challenge for me, just like learning the language.
Cheers! Max
