Responsibilities of Visiting Professors
A “Visiting Professor” must be a Tenure-Track Faculty (a professor, an associate professor, an assistant professor or
people with equivalent professional and technical post) in a world-class university who would like to visit and develop
scientific research.
Visiting Professors should accomplish all of the work regulated in the contract. There are two types of visiting
professors. Some visiting professors can be only engaged in scientific research, while others may be required to take up
responsibilities of both teaching and scientific research, in which case teaching must be done strictly in English according to
the training program of USTC for undergraduate and graduate students apart from scientific research. Applicants can choose
one of them based on their own needs and desires.
