Faculty Position in Nanjing-Helsinki Institute in Atmospheric and Earth System Sciences

About us

The NJU Nanjing-Helsinki Institute was established in April 2022 through a partnership between Nanjing University and the University of Helsinki. We are the first Sino-foreign cooperative education institution in China that provides double degree programs in Atmospheric Sciences for both undergraduate and postgraduate. Drawing disciplinary advantages from two universities in atmospheric and earth sciences, we are dedicated to training talents with the potential to lead in addressing pressing global issues like climate change, sustainable development, while contributing to prosperous global future. We aim to develop a strong team of faculty who are from all around the world and specialize in a variety of research interests (atmospheric sciences and artificial intelligence, socio-economics, ecological health and other disciplines). We have enrolled our first and second classes of students with a total number of 267, including undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students, and in the future, we will have over 600 students in total. We are committed to creating a brand-new, multidisciplinary cultivation system, with more attention on the cross-disciplinary studies and international exchanges. All courses and lectures are provided in English, and students who complete the program and meet the degree requirements will receive two degrees both from Nanjing University and the University of Helsinki.
