Sustainability and Green Finance
Department: Division of

Job ID: 6664
Job Posting Details
The Division of Environment and Sustainability at The Hong Kong
University of Science and Technology is seeking applicants for
substantiation-track faculty positions at all ranks (Assistant
Professor/Associate Professor/Professor) whose scholarly interests
cross multiple areas of sustainability, and sustainable and green
finance. The successful candidates will contribute to the
University’s sustainability and sustainable finance education
strategy by contributing leadership and vision to a well-balanced
and multi-disciplinary approach to understand key sustainability
and sustainable finance concepts, principles, theories, and
practices. To facilitate a multidisciplinary emphasis, the
candidates are expected to have or to generate an internationally
recognized research program that stresses collaborative research on
solving some of the world’s “wicked” problems - i.e., climate
change mitigation and adaptation, social and economic inequality,
environmental risk analysis, and sustainable and green finance.
Candidates should have a strong understanding of experiential
“hands-on” learning as a means of instruction for students, and an
exemplary teaching record. Appointees will be expected to
participate in or lead collaborative teams and interdisciplinary
research on sustainability and sustainable finance.
The Division of Environment and Sustainability is an
interdisciplinary academic unit dedicated to the use and management
of natural resources in an economically efficient, environmentally
compatible, and socially responsible manner. Our faculty
members publish broadly in both disciplinary journals and diverse,
environmentally focused outlets, and are rewarded for working on
interdisciplinary teams in applied contexts. Depending on the
candidate’s areas of expertise, a joint appointment between the
Division of Environment and Sustainability and another relevant
academic Department/Division may be possible.
Applicants should have a doctoral degree in science, engineering,
finance, economics, or an interdisciplinary environmental or
natural resources-related program with a focus on these
areas. Applicants should have proven teaching and advising
experience at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, a strong
research and publication record consistent with the candidate’s
academic rank, evidence of potential for securing research funding,
and demonstrated ability to work in interdisciplinary teams
involving both social and natural scientists.
Salary is highly competitive and will be commensurate with
qualifications and experience. Fringe benefits include annual
leave, medical and dental benefits. Housing benefits will
also be provided where applicable. Appointment at the
Professor rank will be on substantive basis. Initial
appointment for Assistant Professor/Associate Professor will
normally be made on a 3-year contract, renewable subject to mutual
agreement. A gratuity will be payable upon successful
completion of contract.
Application Procedure
Application materials including (i) full curriculum vitae; (ii)
separate statements of research interests and teaching philosophy;
(iii) a letter of interest summarizing your qualifications, areas
of expertise and career goals; and (iv) contact information of
three qualified referees should be sent in PDF format to
envrjob@ust.hk. Review of applications will start in early
November 2021 and continue until the positions are filled.
(Information provided by applicants will be used for recruitment
and other employment-related purposes only.)
