A rare opening at the NTU in Singapore may be an ideal opportunity to enter the international academia world. Jain doctoral graduates have limited opportunities to enter in to a profession at a International University.
Jainism is one of 10 officially recognized religions Singapore. It has a thriving Jain business and professional community that is extensively involved in local community service and interfaith outreach across South East Asia. The Singapore Jain Religious Society had chaired the Singapore Inter-Religious Organization for the last two years. This is an opportunity to both strenghen the Singapore Jain community’s academic learning and also for personal development of working experience in a very broadbased multifaith environment.
