About the Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Business

NUGSB has a small but growing research-oriented faculty. The faculty have received their PhDs from leading schools such as Columbia, Cornell, INSEAD, Purdue, Stanford, and the
University of Michigan. The atmosphere at NUGSB is very collegial, supportive, and
welcoming for the new members of our team.
The Graduate School of Business has a strategic partnership with Duke University’s Fuqua
School of Business, which is ranked as one of the best business schools internationally. Duke’s Fuqua School of Business is also actively involved in recruiting and supporting NUGSB faculty in teaching and research activities. After the initial job interview, successful job candidates will be invited to the Fuqua School of Business for a campus visit.
