The salary package for these positions is quite attractive. Doctoral candidates generally earn more than 350,000 yuan ($48,290) per year. Some scientific research positions have an annual salary of nearly 1 million yuan and additional incentives such as stock options and scientific research achievement bonuses.

Quzhou’s talent recruitment policies are continuing to get better and more comprehensive.

There are also corresponding policy supports for college students coming to Quzhou, whether for housing, entrepreneurship and innovation, or personal growth.
