SJTU physics
and astronomy discipline currently has 170+ faculty members in total. In the
past five years, we have published more than 3000 peer-reviewed papers, with
500+ papers are published in top journals such as Science, Nature, and PRL/PRX.
We have been approved 400+ research programs from the central government
agencies, with a total budget of more than RMB 700 million. In the 2016
Ministry of Education discipline evaluation, SJTU physics was ranked “A” on a
par with Tsinghua, Nanjing, and Fudan Universities. In 2022, it was ranked 40th
worldwide (4th in China) by US News World Subject Rankings.
About SPA: The Department of Physics of Shanghai
Jiao Tong University (SJTU) was established in 1928. It was one of the earliest
physics departments in China. In 2015, the Department established a strong
program of Astronomy and Astrophysics, and was renamed as the School of Physics
and Astronomy (SPA) in 2015. Taking the value of “high starting point, strong
foundation, strict requirements, emphasis on practice and innovation”, SPA aims
to cultivate top-notch innovative talents, answer important scientific
questions and build a world-class school of physics and astronomy. After a decade of rapid growth, SPA has become one of the
most vigorous and comprehensive physics departments nationwide. It covers a
broad range of research areas in the field of physics and astronomy, including
particle and nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, optics, atomic and
molecular physics, laser plasma physics, astronomy and astrophysics,
computational physics, and interdisciplinary physics. SPA is located
in the Science Building of Minhang Campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University,
covering an area of more than 42,000 square meters, with a conducive working
conditions and environment. SPA has a national collaborative innovation center,
three key laboratories of the Ministry of Education and one Shanghai key
laboratory, and has computational physics platform, micro-nano machining and testing
platform and other public platforms.
About TDLI: Proposed by the Nobel laureate Professor Tsung-Dao Lee and
with support and endorsement from governments and ministries at national and
municipal levels, Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) is a basic research institute
established at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in November 2016, aiming to build
itself as a world-leading science institute. Resonating with Professor Lee’s
vision, the Institute focuses on the most fundamental science questions, and
conducts cutting-edge research in physics and astronomy in an effort to shed
light on the relationship between the maximum and the minimum in the universe,
and the most fundamental and profound laws of interaction in the nature. By bringing our research to extreme environments or
creating extreme conditions, we strive to explore and control exotic and
extreme states of matter with extreme detection methods. Eying on the greatest
unsolved mysteries of the universe, we are pledged to systemically assemble our
teams of close to 100 scientists to carry out pioneering research and
collaboration on particle and nuclear physics, astronomy and astrophysics, and
quantum science. Today, we’ve witnessed an emergence of innovations and an
increasingly active presence in the science community. Looking forward, we envision
fostering a supportive, inclusive culture of桃(táo)李(lǐ)荫(yīn)翳(yì)家(jiā)安(ān)其(qí)所(suǒ) (A verse from classical Chinese
poetry describes a harbour where the talented are cultivated and empowered to
happily explore their full potential, and people from the outside admire and
wish to join.) The building of TDLI is located in Zhangjiang Science
City, covering an area of 56,000 square meters. The Institute will provide
conducive working conditions and environment for the talents. It has three
experimental platforms and one computing center: dark matter & neutrino
experimental platform, laboratory astrophysics experimental platform,
topological quantum computation experimental platform and scientific computing
center.
Benefits
and Welfare: According to relevant policies of Shanghai authority and SJTU, we will
provide attractive remuneration package, research start-up funds, the
well-decorated transitional talent apartments and relevant housing subsidies,
the qualification of supervisor PhD student, the enrollment of graduate
students, high-quality medical services at many affiliated hospitals of SJTU
and advanced hospitals in Pudong New Area, as well as the preferential
admission policies and conditions for applicants' children. |
