Our undergraduate students are very competitively selected from other majors after their first year, and almost all of the graduate students are from top universities in mainland China. We believe economics is not only the fundamental knowledge for social sciences, but also the most practical subject for policy and industry. China is at the important stage of sustainable development and aspiration reform, with a large amount of best students willing to learn economics. Therefore, China is the most suitable place for the development of economics. If you have the dream for doing research or teaching in economics, just join with us. We are also looking for senior professors who can lead or help to lead the academic and strategic direction for the JCER’s expansion.
A 4500-acre new campus named iHabor of XJTU was opened in 2019, which leads to the fast expansion for both graduate and undergraduate programs of XJTU, and JCER is planning to hire more junior and senior faculty members from abroad over the next few years in an effort to bolster expanding programs. English speakers are also welcome, and XJTU is planning to build the School of International Collaboration for recruiting the foreign students abroad in the future.
