This book analyzes the mobility pattern of university faculty in China using a curriculum vitae (CV) analysis method, predicting a third wave of faculty mobility after the epidemic due to the growing number of returned overseas talents. East Asia, the United States, and Europe are the main channels for inward talent mobility, with significant differences in faculty mobility among different regions, disciplines, and genders. The influencing factors of faculty mobility between China and foreign countries are also different.
