Applicants should have or expect to receive a doctoral degree in physics before the start of the appointment. The starting date is the fall of 2025 and is negotiable. The appointment is initially for two years with a possible extension for a third-year contingent on the performance and funding. Exceptional candidates can be granted a year-long visit to collaborating institutions abroad (e.g. UC Berkeley, McGill…) as a part of a three-year appointment depending on performance, project needs and funding. 

The application materials should include: 

1) a curriculum vitae with a list of publications 

2) 2 or 3 recommendation letters 

3) a statement of research 

Our university provides a competitive salary and subsidizes a fully furnished apartment for each postdoc. Competitive support and funding for research and travel will be provided as well. We will also sponsor applications for the National Postdoc Fellowship which will provide additional salary in addition to the regular pay.

Review of the application will start on Dec. 15, 2024 and will continue until the positions are filled. 

Inquiries can be sent to: hengtong.ding@ccnu.edu.cn or any other members of the group.
