Position Description

The Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) and School of Physics and Astronomy (SPA) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University invites applications for tenure-track or tenured faculty (“Fellow”/ Associate professor or tenured “Fellow”/Full professor) positions in particle, nuclear and astro-particle physics. In the theoretical direction, we seek exceptional candidates from phenomenology to more mathematical oriented physics. In the experimental direction, we welcome outstanding candidates across all areas, including those with extensive expertise in designing and conducting “tabletop” experiments to explore the frontiers of fundamental physics. TDLI fellows are expected to carry out independent research projects, supervise students, and develop courses in line with our emphasis on particle and cosmology. The positions are open to researchers of any nationality, with highly competitive salary, housing subsidy, and start-up grant. 

 TDLI particle and nuclear division and the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics at SJTU work closely with each other. Both also work closely with astrophysics division of TDLI and Department of Astronomy of SJTU in the area of particle astrophysics and cosmology. The SJTU has an active visitor program, and organizes many topical workshops and conferences each year to create a scientifically stimulating environment. More information can be found at https://tdli.sjtu.edu.cn and https://inpac.physics.sjtu.edu.cn/ The applications are open to researchers of any nationality. Applicants should upload a cover letter, curriculum vitae (including a publication list), a research and teaching statement (four-page maximum). At least five reference letters should be submitted online at the same website. For other inquires please send an email to ziyang@sjtu.edu.cn. 

TDLI has an international environment with English as its working language, and invites candidates of all nationalities. The TDLI seeks to promote equal opportunity and diversity in physics. Members of under-represented groups in physics are particularly encouraged to apply. For full consideration, all application material should be received before December. 20, 2026. The search will remain open until the positions are filled.
