  1. only six sophomore classes to teach, plus supervise the labs, and sit on the committees and take care of the department administrative tasks. (Proficiency in landscaping, bricklaying, plumbing and roofing is a plus but not required.)

  2. Sounds like a perfect description for a permanent position. Do administrators get hired on as temporary positions too? Over in the faculty jobs tread the old guard is always taking about finding perfect candidate who are loyal and who will stick around for the long term, but it's a two way road.
