Chinese biz program looking for director

The Global Business Journalism program at Tsinghua University is seeking a director starting in the fall semester of 2013.

The ideal candidate would be a university professor with extensive professional experience as a business journalist plus administrative experience and responsibilities. China experience and Chinese language are a plus but not a requirement.

The program is a joint project of the International Center for Journalists, which trains journalists in dozens of countries worldwide, and Tsinghua University in Beijing, considered one of China’s best. The director would teach Business News Writing and Editing and other courses as needed. The director’s duties include reporting to the program’s sponsors as well as identifying and cultivating new ones.

This is a great job for the right person, especially now, given China’s growing importance in business and the global economy. Students are right in the middle of the world’s biggest business story.
