Human Resources

The University HR strategy aims to enhance its staff members’ professional skills and boost their productivity, as well as recruit young, world-class academics and administrators. 

The University focuses on three areas in developing its human resources:

International recruiting of faculty and administrators

Developing the professional skills of its staff

Improving organisational structure

 

To recruit world-class academics and administrators, the University is building an international recruitment system. The main recruitment tools will include:

  • keeping the target audience informed about job opportunities at the University
  • stepping up activities within the partnership network of leading global universities
  • offering flexible forms of cooperation, both in timing and level of engagement
  • putting together a competitive remuneration system that features world-level salaries and social bonuses
  • setting challenging research tasks and providing unique scientific equipment

As part of these measures, it will be extremely important to recruit a top-class foreign administrator with a wide network of contacts and to establish an International Scientific Advisory Council. Such measures are vital to success in attracting world-class academics according to the experience of higher educational institutions participating in the 5-100 program. The University seeks to form a critical mass of international researchers that will provide a wide range of contacts with global research centers and ensure its integration with the international academic community.

SUSU intends to organise its international recruitment efforts based on the experience of the selected benchmark universities. For example, Tsinghua University has had notable success in recruiting professionals to a leading emerging market. Research teams within priority research areas may issue grants that are earmarked exclusively for recruiting foreign professionals. As a rule, cooperation starts with short-term, one-year contracts that can be extended to longer periods.

Below is a list of world-class specialists who are partners of SUSU and whom the University intends to offer engagements in joint research projects or positions as leading researchers.

 Another key area for developing talent pool is in enhancing the professional skills of staff members. The University will carry out this task by setting up a full-fledged HR function responsible for building individual career progress trajectories as well as developing a coaching system. The University will also intensify academic staff learning by using advanced coaching methods (including with the help of other universities’ employees), overseas short-term trips of staff to foreign university intended to observe the work of colleagues on similar positions (shadowing), staff secondments to different organisations, departments, structures for 6-12 months. The introduction of contracts based on current KPIs will also contribute to strengthening the professional skills of staff members. 

 The restructuring of the University is of no less importance. This process will include the following measures: improving the organisational structure; expanding authority delegation practices and consolidating units while removing boundaries between them. These measures will enable the University to increase the productivity of its staff and create a solid base for conducting cross-disciplinary research.
