Drive 1 hr is a bit far, however, experience is important

-- Drive 1 hr is a bit far;
-- As long as the salary can cover the gas and the car insurance and wearness, then:
-- You will need your old adviser as reference, better keep good relation w/ her;
-- Nowdays, stay on job is important, so it is easy to say you are on market when looking for a job.
-- Try to negotiate salary see if they can pay as a Post Doc. Since they knew your values, so it is negotietable.

Thanks!
