Linguistics) from an accredited program. Candidates with at least 2 years of
English Language teaching in the tertiary level to multilingual students will
have an advantage. Applicants should have their degree in hand at the time of

The successful candidates also need to possess excellent organizational

Chinese (Putonghua or Cantonese) may be an advantage, but more important are

room accommodation (for staff with dependents there is a possibility to
request for a small one-bedroom apartment) and low-cost medical benefits are
available.
