Warmest Chinese New Year Greetings from HKUST!


Dear Prof. Pekka Orponen,

The Warmest Chinese New Year Greetings from The Hong Kong University of 
Science and Technology (HKUST)! In the New Year of the Ox, we wish to 
share with you some exciting career opportunities!

*HKUST will open its new Guangzhou campus in September 2022. The new 
campus plans to recruit 400 regular faculty in the next 5 years in all 
research areas, in addition to over 165 new regular faculty in our 
current Hong Kong campus. The recruiting plan also covers several 
special initiatives, such as the Synthetic Biology Initiative. Faculty 
at all ranks are welcome!*

We will be very grateful if you could alert your students, postdocs and 
colleagues to this very unique career opportunity. Please visit 
https://gz-faculty-recruitment.hkust.edu.hk/ to learn more about our 
recruitment. If you know a senior faculty who might be interested, 
discreet inquiries can be made at facultyhire at ust.hk .

Founded in 1991 as the first research university in Hong Kong, HKUST 
consistently ranks among the top 50 universities in the world and the 
world’s best young university in Times Higher Education and QS ranking. 
With a strong focus on innovation, HKUST graduates were ranked 10th 
worldwide in the Global University Employability Survey 2019 by the New 
York Times.

Both HKUST and HKUST(GZ) offer very competitive starting salaries 
(comparable to the US) with generous retirement, medical and other 
benefits such as sabbatical leave and waterside campus housing. They are 
also among the most beautiful campuses in the world.

For any inquiry, please reach us via facultyhire at ust.hk. Again for more

Thank you so much in advance! We hope that your 2021 will be surrounded 
by happiness and good health. Look forward to hearing from you soon!

Sincerely,

Prof. Yang WANG
