To my chagrin, in MN there's no job security beyond a given semester, in contrast to Texas A-and-M, where I was told that adjuncts have on-going positions. | |

But during the years I was at the University of Arizona, I had the impression it was quite well run there. I'm sure there were some things to complain about, but the adjuncts appeared to me valued members of the department and I think many managed to go on to decent teaching careers. Interested people could write to a mathematician there to ask about such opportunities. | |
