Further to the recruitment advertisement of the post of Vice Rector (Academic Affairs) and the announcement in our Town Hall meeting in November, I would like to announce the global search for this important position has officially started after the first committee meeting was held earlier this month. Members of the Search Committee are as follows:

· Prof. Wei Zhao, Rector and Chair Professor
· Prof. Fan Xitao, Dean of the Faculty of Education and Chair Professor
· Prof. Chen Chun-Lung Philip, Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology and Chair Professor
· Prof. Ge Wei, Chair Professor and Interim Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences
· Prof. Martin Mathew Montgomery, Chair Professor and Interim Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities
· Dr. Daniel C. W. Tse, Chair of the University Council
· Dr. Yeung Tsun Man Eric, Member of the University Council

It is believed that with their inputs throughout the recruitment process, the best candidate will be recruited for the betterment of the development of the University.

In addition to the above, the University has also appointed an executive search firm to assist in the search for the best candidate. Copies of the advertisement and position specification are also attached to provide you with detailed information about the University and the position. I would like to take this opportunity to invite your (self-) nomination of candidates who are well qualified for this position. I would also appreciate if you would forward the announcement to individuals whom you believe are qualified and might be interested in this position. More details about the job vacancy can be accessed at http://www.umac.mo/vacancy.

Looking forward to the joining of a new Vice Rector who will help us envision the next phase for the University of Macau!

Thank you for your kind attention.
