What opportunities might exist in Malaysia for foreigners who have recently completed a doctorate?

I have a first degree in English and a second in law (equivalent of first class honors). Thinking about getting either a JSD or a PhD in linguistics.

It depends on what your Doctorate is in.

There is always university work going, but don't expect to get a globally competitive salary. I know that at some of the British Universities here, Phd holders get a salary ranging from rm 10,000 to 13,000 per month.

If you are serious about working in Malaysia (I assume you're not here already), why not contact the universities directly and make tentative enquiries?

Good luck.
