Teaching At University Level

[LittleLew]

I am considering relocating from US to Chiang Mai and would like to keep up my professional life. (I have visited several times.)

I have two earned doctorates from good US universities, have taught biostatistics for 15 years in medical schools, written book chapters, 2 books and >100 papers.

I won't need particularly the money but want the stimulation and involvement of teaching at college level.

Is it a unachievable dream to think I can do that and live in Chiang Mai?

Thanks in advance for any input.

PS: I am not running from anything. My wife is quite ill and if/when she passes away, I want to get out of this environment for a while.

There are a couple of people who participate on this forum who are aware of the educational needs, requirements etc in this area. Maybe they will give some input. From my exposure to college graduates in this area I would venture to say you are over qualified for work at the level of education which is promoted here. But I am not directly involved or knowledgeable about colleges here. Sorry about your wifes condition and the best of luck to you.

You won't have any problem getting a job at a Thai University. A Masters Degree is more than enough.
