Another question... for Unis in Singapore, is ‘open contract’ the equivalent of tenure contract?

my gut feel is for SIT, they might not have tenure tracks positions. if you want a traditional tenure with a competitive salary, you should go for NUS/NTU which then require a much higher academic requirement.

either you start from asst prof again and compete for their tenured associate prof position or you are already rather distinguished professor in your field and can join them as a visiting professor.

they cannot sack you unless you commit "personal indiscretion" with a student.
for open contract, they can fire you anytime.

just curious are you already an associate prof at the university of your home country?

Thanks for the info.

No, not already an assoc prof...

Professors salary can be anything.

Bonus about 3 months (performance bonus plus 13th month).

The figures you provided is it for NTU or NUS? Is those figures the base salary?
