Nottingham University Business School China (NUBS China)
Assistant/Associate Professor in Entrepreneurship
Have an impact and be part of the creation of one of China's and the World's leading business schools. NUBS China is an integral part of the Nottingham University Business School awarding the same internationally recognized degrees offered by Nottingham in the UK. In operation for a little over 10 years, NUBS China currently has approximately 2,800 students of which about 400 are enrolled in postgraduate programs including a Ph.D. program. It has a rapidly expanding international faculty of about 90 coming from 27 countries or so. The school is EQUIS accredited and is part of a university that is highly rated among the world's leading research and teaching universities. Since April 2011, NUBS China has rapidly progressed towards an increasing focus on high impact research, customized executive education, and high quality teaching. NUBS China focuses its efforts around the three "I"s-International, Innovative, and Interactive. In addition, NUBS China, which carries out instruction in English, is significantly increasing its research focus and provides an excellent environment and conditions for scholars interested in pursuing an active research agenda. Entrepreneurship has been a key area at NUBS China in terms of research, teaching and student services. The Nottingham-Ningbo Incubator Center has recently been established to serve as a strategic platform to promote research and practices in entrepreneurship and innovation at the local, national and international levels.
NUBS China is based in Ningbo, a major city located only 2-3 hours to the south of Shanghai by car or train (with the fastest train currently taking 1 hour and 40 minutes). It is a relatively high-income city in China, with a per capita income (PPP basis) of about US $12,000. Ningbo has one of China's largest deep-water ports, a modern airport with connections to the cities such as Beijing, Bangkok, Singapore, Osaka, Hong Kong, Seoul and Taipei and high-speed rail connections to other major cities in China. It has international schools, excellent shopping facilities and an attractive multicultural nightlife. It also has many rivers, lakes and mountains in the outskirts and is considered to be one of the cities in China which has the best quality of life.
NUBS China offers European-level competitive salaries with reasonable teaching loads. In addition, an attractive international benefits package including accommodation allowance, travel allowance, support for international schooling and private insurance (including international medical insurance) will be provided for international appointments. NUBS China also provides a competitive research support package for candidates showing good research output. Candidates must have a PhD or be very close to completion of his/her PhD in a relevant discipline. Excellent English communication skills are essential together with strong teaching abilities. Candidates are also expected to have demonstrated an ability to conduct high-quality research with the evidence such as publications in ABS level 3 and above journals.
