FAQ
We encourage all foreign QNS members to learn the language of our Center’s home country by offering on-site Korean language classes in a fun and relaxing environment. It is rather easy to live in Seoul without speaking or reading Korean. There are English language apps for hailing taxis, ordering food delivery, and navigating the best routes on the metro.
QNS is managed as an international research center. The working language is English. We provide English language classes for non-native speakers. Our culture supports great people, lets the researchers focus on performing outstanding research, and having fun.
Foreigners pay a 20% tax rate or less for the first 5 years working in Korea. Enrollment in the national healthcare system and pension contributions are included in this amount.
In a word, outstanding! Korea has one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Enrollment in the healthcare system is included in your work visa and is covered by the taxes from your salary. If you want even more coverage, private additional plans are available for purchase.
If you chose to move away from Korea before your pension vests, you can easily have your pension contributions paid out in full when you leave Korea for your next adventure.

"Coherent manipulation of quantum nanostructures is one of the main research in our center. I am a graduate student studying this topic. Observing and controlling various atoms and molecules on clean surfaces using STM combined with the AFM system is my main task. Dealing and playing with atoms and molecules is very fascinating. Especially in QNS, I can discuss it with many experts."
Safa Ahmed
"I’m a graduate student at QNS. My project involves travelling to synchrotron facilities and measuring samples with polarised X-rays to investigate their magnetic properties.
QNS is truly extraordinary in terms of work environment and ease in interaction with students’ advisors in Korea."
Yejin Jeong
"I'm a graduate student and work with ESR ensembled measurement team.
So in the team I did the simulations and made the resonator design. Also I participated in the design of the preparation chamber with the frame.
These days I'm learning how to make sample and handle the UHV machine and ESR machine.
I'm so happy that I can work in the QNS. I can get opportunities to work with and meet good people. In addition I can learn lots of things from them."
