airport with excellent connections to cities such as Beijing, Hong Kong,
Seoul and Taipei and high-speed rail connections to other major cities in
China. It has several 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 and benefits with
reasonable teaching loads. In addition, an attractive international

support for international schooling (there are three international schools
in Ningbo), and insurance (including international medical insurance) will

competitive research support package for candidates showing good research
output. Candidates are expected to have a PhD in a relevant area by the
time they start to work. Excellent English communication skills are

conduct high-quality research together with strong teaching abilities.
