Compensation and Support
NTNU is building a return-to-Taiwan offer that tackles the core relocation questions—flexible, merit-based pay, children’s education, and practical settlement support. Faculty compensation combines a monthly base salary plus an annual year-end performance bonus, and final placement is reviewed case-by-case based on academic qualifications and prior teaching/research experience—so strong candidates are matched appropriately within the range rather than pushed into a fixed starting point. Estimated annual pay is approximately USD 50.6k–58.6k (Professor), USD 40.5k–49.7k (Associate Professor), and USD 35.8k–44.9k (Assistant Professor).
In addition, NTNU offers an incentive program to recruit exceptionally talented new faculty, providing newly hired outstanding professors with an award of up to USD 12,000 per year for up to 3–5 years. Furthermore, to address faculty housing needs, NTNU maintains 104 on-campus housing units of varying sizes and layouts, including 50 units reserved for newly appointed faculty. Monthly rent ranges from USD 316 to USD 727.
To reduce the biggest early burdens of relocating, newly hired faculty who have resided in a foreign country for 3 years or more and have returned to Taiwan for 6 months or less before the employment will receive a one-time living allowance of about USD 3.2k and reimbursement of inbound airfare (actual expenses), helping cover initial set-up and housing-related pressures. For families, quota-based faculty may access enrolment opportunities for children at the junior high division of NTNU’s Affiliated Senior High School, a concrete schooling pathway that reduces relocation uncertainty.
Other Benefits & Resources
Teaching Support
NTNU offers Teaching Merit Award includes a prize of USD 1,900. The Teaching Excellence Award includes a prize of USD 3,162, plus an additional annual flexible salary supplement of USD 3,794 for three consecutive years, totaling $11,382. In addition, the Teaching Innovation Fund encourages instructors to pursue ongoing instructional improvement and innovation.
We also offer reduced teaching loads for (1) instructors involved in Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) projects or cooperative education programs with government agencies, and (2) newly appointed full-time or contract assistant professors.
Research Support
NTNU’s supportive measures for Taiwan’s Yushan Fellow Program (launched by the Ministry of Education to help universities recruit outstanding international scholars) go beyond competitive pay by offering a robust package that can include up to about USD 31,651 per year in administrative support, three years of free faculty housing or a lodging subsidy, airfare support, hiring-unit support, and assistance with children’s education—all designed to facilitate long-term collaboration and strengthen Taiwan’s global academic presence.
In addition, NTNU provides a range of faculty grants, including the NTU System Young Scholar Cooperation Project; an International Cooperation Project grant of up to about USD 6,330 per project; interdisciplinary SIG support of about USD 1,583 per team to establish a Special Interest Group and about USD 3,165 per team for cross-college/cross-center teams; international conference travel support; and art exhibition/performance support of up to about USD 3,165 per award, available up to twice per academic year (about USD 6,330 total).
Employee Benefits
NTNU also offers a range of employee benefits and campus services, including education subsidies for employees’ children, marriage subsidies, and funeral grants, along with coverage under the Government Employee Insurance Plan. Faculty can also take advantage of sports clubs, faculty parking, and a birthday cash gift.

Key Highlights
Founded in 1922 as Taiwan’s original educator-training institute, NTNU has played a pivotal role in shaping the nation through education and has since evolved into a comprehensive, research-intensive university with internationally recognized strengths in Education, Arts and Humanities, and Chinese Language Teaching. Today, NTNU stands at the forefront of Taiwan’s bilingual transformation as one of the four Benchmark Universities for Bilingual Education, advancing high-impact teaching, innovative curriculum design, and English-taught programs that support both local and international learning communities. NTNU is also distinguished by its global academic standing: in the latest Best Global Universities ranking by U.S. News & World Report, NTNU is ranked 7th worldwide in Education and Educational Research, underscoring the university’s long-term leadership in teacher preparation, educational scholarship, and evidence-based practice.
Reflecting its strong international profile, NTNU ranks 1st in Taiwan for the percentage of international students, demonstrating a truly global campus where diverse perspectives enrich the classroom and research environment. Nationally, NTNU’s excellence is equally clear: it has been ranked 1st in Social Sciences and Humanities in Taiwan for eight consecutive years, highlighting sustained performance across scholarship, academic reputation, and educational quality. NTNU is also the 2nd Taiwanese university with the greatest number of academic disciplines placed in the QS World University Rankings Top 100, showcasing broad-based excellence that extends beyond a single flagship field.
College / School Highlights
With three campuses and one of the widest ranges of academic offerings in Taiwan, NTNU is organized into 10 colleges—Education, Liberal Arts, Science, Arts, Technology and Engineering, Sports and Recreation, International Studies and Social Sciences, Music, Management, and Industry-Academia Innovation—enabling interdisciplinary collaboration that connects foundational knowledge with real-world solutions. Each college brings a distinct edge: Education strengthens teacher preparation and learning sciences; Liberal Arts and International Studies advance languages, humanities, and global perspectives; Science and Technology & Engineering drive STEM innovation; Arts and Music nurture creative excellence; Sports and Recreation translates sport science into performance and wellbeing; Management develops leadership and analytics; and Industry-Academia Innovation accelerates partnership-based research and technology transfer.
This breadth is backed by measurable global benchmarks—in the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subject, NTNU placed six disciplines in the global Top 100, including Education & Training (#24), Linguistics (#90), Modern Languages (#93), Library & Information Management (51–100), Engineering—Petroleum (51–100), and Classics & Ancient History (Top 100). From cultivating future educators and global citizens to producing high-caliber research and building international partnerships, NTNU continues to expand its impact across Taiwan and the world, bringing together academic rigor, cultural depth, and an outward-looking commitment to innovation and societal contribution.
International Collaboration Highlights
Strengthening ties with world-leading universities is central to elevating NTNU’s international profile. With partnerships spanning 400+ top institutions, NTNU focuses on deep, outcomes-driven collaboration across teaching, research, and institutional benchmarking. We actively shape global higher education dialogue by hosting flagship events such as the 2023 Forum on the Internationalization of Higher Education, the 2024 Taiwan–France Higher Education Summit, the 2025 trilateral forums with the University of Glasgow and Kyushu University (Education) and with the University of British Columbia and The University of Texas at Austin (Global Studies), and the 2026 Transnational Sustainability Forum with Glasgow and Kyushu.
NTNU also translates partnerships into concrete opportunities for students and staff. We expand mobility through exchange and dual-degree agreements, and strengthen administrative excellence through overseas benchmarking and professional exchanges. Leveraging the Mandarin Training Center and our campus-wide strengths in Chinese language education, NTNU has built robust collaborations with leading U.S. universities including Penn State, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, the University of Maryland, Purdue, and the University of Pittsburgh. Moving forward, we will deepen engagement with 10 priority partners—Purdue, UT Austin, UBC, Osaka, Kyushu, Hanyang, Goethe University Frankfurt, Bordeaux, Glasgow, and Queensland—while broadening alliances that amplify NTNU’s distinctive strengths in Mandarin, education, and bilingual education.
Research & Industry Collaboration Highlights
NTNU provides end-to-end support to help faculty and researchers compete globally and deliver high-impact results. The University’s research ecosystem combines senior-faculty mentorship, Research Ethics Center guidance, diversified internal grants, activity subsidies, incentive funding, and a flexible salary system that rewards performance. This scale is reflected in outcomes: NTNU secures 1,000+ government-funded projects annually, with average annual funding of ~USD 81 million. NTNU also drives international research visibility, producing 400+ internationally co-authored journal articles each year with QS Top 100 partners such as Cambridge, Toronto, and Kyoto. Research excellence is validated by global benchmarks: in Stanford University’s 2024 “Top 2% Scientists” list, 22 NTNU scholars were recognized for Lifetime Scientific Influence and 28 for Annual Scientific Influence.
NTNU translates research into real-world value through strong industry engagement. Since 2019, the NTNU International Industry-Academia Alliance has expanded collaboration via matchmaking events and cross-university forums, supported by targeted incentives. Industry projects with non-governmental partners have exceeded ~USD 3.1 million per year, reaching a record ~USD 9.4 million in 2023 and sustaining momentum into 2025. NTNU has strengthened IP strategy and technology transfer, achieving >7% average annual growth in patents and licensing (2020–2023) and >10% projected growth for 2024–2025. To align with national priority sectors, NTNU launched the Cross-Domain Technology Industry Innovation Research Institute in 2023 and, with support from 12 enterprises, established institutes focused on AI applications and green energy and sustainable governance, strengthening industry–government–academia pathways and talent development.
University-level Research Center Highlights
Under MOE’s Higher Education Sprout Project, NTNU has established four Featured Areas Research Centers that convert scholarly strengths into measurable educational, cultural, and societal impact. The Learning Sciences center advances frontier themes—science education, precision learning technologies, educational measurement and big-data analytics, and educational neuroscience—so rigorous evidence can inform classroom practice, teacher preparation, and policy. The Chinese Language and Technology Center links Chinese acquisition research with standards, curriculum design, and assessment, while building enabling tools such as natural language processing, corpora, big data, and VR/AR to improve learning at scale and support Taiwan’s language-tech ecosystem.
The International Taiwan Study Center consolidates humanities and social-science scholarship on Taiwan with a sustainability lens, connects with Taiwan Studies centers at leading universities worldwide, and translates research into public engagement, policy insight, and industry partnership. The Social Emotional Education Development Center develops an Asia-informed model of social-emotional learning grounded in Chinese cultural philosophies, validates locally designed interventions, tracks long-term development, and creates smart technologies that promote well-being for students and teachers. Together, they serve as campus-wide hubs for interdisciplinary research, talent cultivation, and international collaboration. They also create shared data resources, host seminars that spark cross-center projects, and train the next generation of research-ready educators globally.
