Hello
Does anyone on here currently work or previously worked at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi. I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who relocated with a family (wife and 2 young kids).

Thanks

Never been to KAUST but I know they are one of the top payer in KSA. The campus is approx 120 KM to the north of Jedda. Unlike other state-owned universities, KAUST budget comes directly from the KING. It is also notable that there is no gender segregation there.

EastWest you don't work in the ME, you've not made the move, but suddenly you're all over threads like you're an expert expat who has lived here for years, curious.

Hi, my brother is currently working there and lives on campus with his wife and children. I'm sure he is happy to help out with information. If you PM me, I'll be able to give you his contact details

I'm awaiting for my contract and visa details, so I'll be interested to learn more about life in KAUST!

Can anyone supply a contact number or email for the Laboratory for Carbon Nanostructures at KAUST? I'm interested in a research fellowship there but don't know who to contact and can't find any details on the KAUST website or anywhere online.
