As I suspected, UNIST in Ulsan has said no to my job application. The uni would never have replied had I not sent in a status request an hour ago, but they replied promptly to the request once they got it. It was a politely worded let-down:
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the Visiting Professor position at the School of Liberal Arts, UNIST, and for taking the time to apply.
After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you the position at this time.
We sincerely appreciate your interest in UNIST and wish you continued success in your academic and professional endeavors.
Kind regards,
I sent a similar update request to Soonchunhyang University (SCH); so far, no reply. Most universities—rather unprofessionally, in my opinion—never reply if they're saying no to your application, which is why you often have to go out of your way and ask.
While the timeline for UNIST and SCH has reached its conclusion, I'm still waiting on responses from Hanyang YK Intercollege (Seoul) and Kyungpook National University (Sangju). Hanyang is at the 10-day mark; the timeline for Kyungpook started only yesterday. Upshot: I'll contact Hanyang next week, and I'll contact Kyungpook late in the first week of July. In the meantime, I'm going to have to start looking earnestly for hagweon work.
