The University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has officially opened the 3rd recruitment phase for 2026 under the Talent Attraction and Development Program for UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang, aiming to build a team of next-generation Dual Role Faculty (combining teaching and management roles). Featuring a practical training roadmap, study support policies, and a dedicated mentoring team, the program opens up opportunities to simultaneously develop teaching, research, and university governance capacities, joining the pioneering team in building the UEH Branch in Khanh Hoa. Application deadline: November 5, 2026.

Join the pioneering team and help shape UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang 

As one of UEH’s strategic campuses in the South Central region, UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang is positioned as “A meeting place for global scholars and knowledge” - a space for training, research, innovation and international knowledge connection, aligned with the sustainable development needs of Khánh Hòa province and the wider region. The development of UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang opens up opportunities for those who wish to build an academic career while taking direct part in organising and operating a university campus.

Since 2025, UEH has been implementing the UEH Global Talent Program, aimed at developing a team of Dual-Role Faculty (lecturers who are also administrators). Under this model, staff carry out teaching and research duties while also working in functional departments and divisions. Experience in both roles helps each member broaden their professional capabilities, understand how a university operates, and build practical experience in coordination and work organisation.

In the first two recruitment rounds, the programme attracted more than 368 applications from candidates trained at reputable educational institutions in Vietnam and abroad, successfully selecting the first 14 staff members for UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang.

The third recruitment round continues to open the door to joining the core team from the very construction phase of UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang. For capable candidates with ambition and a pioneering spirit, this is a chance to apply their knowledge to real work, contribute ideas and leave their mark on the creation of a new academic space in Khánh Hòa.

UEH invests in talent: study support, hands-on coaching and long-term development 

A distinctive feature of UEH Global Talent is the preparation pathway candidates follow before taking up their duties in Khánh Hòa. Once selected, candidates work at the UEH main campus as management trainees, receiving coaching through real work in functional departments and divisions.

The training phase lasts 12 months for candidates holding a master’s degree or higher. For other candidates, the training period is counted from the point at which they substantially complete their master’s programme, with a total duration of no more than 24 months.

During this process, each staff member is guided by experienced lecturers acting as mentors at the schools/institutes and by professional coaches in each department and division. Through direct guidance and hands-on work, candidates gradually accumulate experience, gain an understanding of UEH’s operating processes and build the capability to take on both academic and administrative duties at UEH Nexus Campus Nha Trang.

Alongside hands-on coaching, the programme offers a policy of sponsored study with 100% tuition support for master’s and doctoral programmes as prescribed, with priority given to UEH English-taught programmes or international joint programmes with UEH; it also facilitates participation in refresher courses relevant to each job position.

Staff receive salary, allowances, additional income and benefits in accordance with UEH regulations; remuneration from teaching, scientific research, international publication and other professional activities is applied as prescribed. This investment in study, professional mentoring and practical experience provides a foundation for candidates to pursue a long-term career with UEH in Khánh Hòa.

Third recruitment round: opportunities for candidates from bachelor’s to doctoral level

In the third recruitment round of 2026, UEH is looking for candidates with professional capability, a spirit of innovation and a long-term commitment, for the following positions:

• Lecturers holding a doctoral degree: No limit on the number of positions.
• Lecturers holding a master’s degree and teaching assistants (education support staff holding a bachelor’s degree): A total of 07 positions.

Candidates holding a master’s degree or higher will carry out lecturer duties in accordance with UEH regulations, while concurrently taking on work in functional departments and divisions and other duties as assigned.

For candidates holding a bachelor’s degree who intend to pursue a teaching career, the teaching assistant position is the first step on the pathway towards becoming a lecturer. After completing a master’s degree and meeting the other prescribed standards, they will be transferred to the professional title of lecturer.

The recruitment fields range from economics, business and management to technology, communications and design, including: Business Administration, Hospital Administration, Tourism and Travel, Event Management, Marketing, E-commerce, Finance – Banking, Financial Technology, Accounting – Auditing, International Business, Information Technology, STEM Education, Economics, Natural Resources – Environmental Management, Communications, Architecture and Smart Urban Design, Innovation, Public Management and related disciplines.
