Prior to that, he was the assistant resident representative of the United Nations Development Program in Beijing, taking charge of social and rural development projects.
He Jin obtained his Ph.D. in education from Stanford University, and then worked as a researcher at the World Bank in Washington, D.C., for five years before going to China to undertake development work.
