Founded in 1963, The Chinese University of Hong Kong ( http://www.cuhk.edu.hk ) is a forward-looking comprehensive research university with a global vision and a mission to combine tradition with modernity, and to bring together China and the West. With a team of over 3,220 full-time teaching and research staff, the University offers a broad spectrum of programmes up to the PhD level in various disciplines organized under eight faculties (namely Arts, Business Administration, Education, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Science and Social Science). In 2017-18, the undergraduate and postgraduate enrolments in the University's publicly-funded programmes have reached 17,040 and 3,570 respectively.

The Faculty of Business Administration ( http://www.baf.cuhk.edu.hk ), being the first to offer undergraduate and MBA programmes in Hong Kong, pioneered business education and has become a world leader in business research and education. With a focus on China and Asia, the Faculty also connects strongly with CUHK(Shenzhen), strategically located at the world's doorway to China, to provide an exceptional opportunity for knowledge creation in a culturally and economically important location.

He/she should be capable of establishing strong ties with local industries as well as regional and global business communities. The Dean will also actively engage in alumni and community relations and in extending networks.

Candidates should have an excellent academic standing appropriate for appointment at the level of a full Professor in the Faculty. They should have an appreciation of the breadth of research / educational developments in the relevant fields and the range of intellectual interests represented in the Faculty, demonstrated capability of academic leadership and strategic management in higher education institutions, a long-term vision for the development of the Faculty, and excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
