Dear all,
So my husband will be moving to jubail as an expat at the end of the month and I am planning on following him. I am currently working towards my Ph.D. in the US and I also have a Msc in engineering from France. I am aware of all the restrictions for women in KSA and I wanted to know if I could easily find a job in academia or at least in industry around Jubail and if the salary would follow?
I am looking forward to your replies 
,
Cheers!!
Is it easy to find a job in academia for a woman around jubail?

There are international schools, although I'm not sure what the hiring situation is there. Khobar - about an hour away - is pretty much guaranteed to have some jobs however.

You can not work if you are on your husband iqama. To do a job here you need sponsor (employer) other than your husband to able to work here. This is wt I heard frm people around.
