International employees can serve in a variety of capacities in their areas of expertise, from short term visiting or long term permanent capacities. All positions include a competitive benefits package, and vary by position and level of experience of the professional. Most positions are not posted on our website, so interested professionals are encouraged to contact our department or the department at Narxoz that you are interested in working with to discuss opportunities.
Faculty teaching and research capacities International faculty and scholars come to Narxoz University to serve in both short and long term capacities in their areas of expertise in academia. All faculty and researchers staying for at least a semester are required to carry a teaching load, per Kazakhstan visa laws. In addition to teaching, international professionals can also conduct research, contribute to grant funding initiatives, develop curriculum, and contribute to other academic initiatives. In addition, Narxoz also welcomes visiting professionals, both paid or volunteer (usually includes a stipend), to contribute to any of these capacities from one week to a few months.

Administrator and staff capacities While opportunities for international professionals to serve in administrator and staff capacities are available, they are rare due to strict laws that mandate most foreign employees take a teaching load. Some international administrators and staff have served as both faculty and administrators or staff. Contact us to discuss options.
