    The Hong Kong Institute of Education is conducting a search for Chair Professors and Professors as part of its capacity building initiatives. The Hong Kong Institute of Education is a publicly funded tertiary institution offering a full range of academic programmes at doctoral, master, bachelor and postgraduate diploma levels as well as other professional development programmes to over 8,000 students, serving teachers and professionals studying in education and related humanities, social sciences, and arts and culture disciplines. The Institute has a Graduate School and three Faculties, namely, Faculty of Education and Human Development, Faculty of Humanities, and Faculty of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences; comprising altogether 16 Departments, with about 400 academic/teaching staff. It now features four Institute-level research centres and ten Faculty-level research and development centres, covering various areas of expertise in Education, Social Sciences and the Liberal Arts.

    The Institute aspires to become a leading university in the Asia Pacific region, focusing on Education and complementary disciplines, and recognized for its excellence in nurturing competent and caring professionals and the impact of scholarship. If you are excited by the prospect of contributing your expertise to the development of a leading multidisciplinary institution at the heart of East Asia, we would like to hear from you.

    Appointees to these senior positions will perform strategic functions to achieve the growth plan of the Institute. They will provide effective academic leadership, enhance research and development, advance scholarship through knowledge creation and transfer as well as assure academic quality in the relevant disciplines.

    I just want to clarify what rank these positions are at, as I have received some queries. In Hong Kong, the two highest academic ranks are Professor followed by Chair Professor. As such, these should be considered senior academic appointments.

    I hope that clarifies things. If you are interested, I'm happy to answer your questions (but I am not involved in the selection process in any way).
