Tips : If you are looking to find a job in Chinese Universities, make sure to distinguish the two types of job you can find.

1st. Primary or high schools affiliated to Chinese Universities.

These are NOT jobs where you'll be teaching University students. Read the schools names carefully.

2nd. University Jobs in University

As China is HUGE they're a lots of Universities, therefore a lot of jobs available. BUT depending on your objective, these jobs aren't usually the ones that come with the highest paid (unless you work in the most prestigious ones - BEIDA (Peking University) and Tsinghua are some of them.
