Tsung-Dao Lee Institute at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China is inviting application for the SJTU Siyuan Postdoctoral Fellowship (Overseas Talent Introduction). The 3-year program provides a 450,000 RMB yearly salary, and a 30,000 RMB settlement allowance.
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.
Focusing on the fundamental scientific issue of "the origin and evolution of matter", the Institute has formed three major research directions, namely, astronomy and astrophysics, particle and nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, and focuses on the construction of the Laboratory Astrophysics Experimental Platform, Topological Materials Research Platform, Large Scale Scientific Computing Platform, and other comprehensive and open-type basic research facilities. In 2022, we launched the construction of three forward observation bases, including the Dark Matter Phase II detector at a depth of 2,400 meters in Jinping, Sichuan Province, the JUST Spectroscopic Telescope in Lenghu, Qinghai Province, and the Deep-Sea Neutrino Telescope in Hainan Province, and plan to carry out all-around in-depth research on fundamental scientific issues from the dimensions of passive, active, and emergency. Using natural extreme environments, artificially created extreme conditions, and the use of extreme detection means to explore and regulate extreme novelties and carry out organized scientific research. TDLI has joint cooperation with SJTU School of Physics and Astronomy to establish MOE Key Laboratory of Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology, MOE Key Laboratory of Artificial Structures and Quantum Control, MOE Key Laboratory of Laser Plasmas, and Shanghai Key Laboratory of Particle Physics and Cosmology. In 2023, with the advance efforts, TDLI was selected as one of the first batch of the Ministry of Education's Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology National High-Level Talent Cultivation Centers.
Located in the core area of Zhangjiang Science City, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, TDLI building covers an area of 2.73 hectares, with a total construction area of 56,000 square meters. The building consists of a 5-floor south building, a 6-floor north building, and a glass sphere connecting the two buildings. With the support of Pudong New Area’s government, the building is surrounded by the waterfront platform TDLI Bay and a 4.5 km walking trail. TDLI community strives to provide our members with the most conducive working and living environment.
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.)
This application is intended for individuals who have not yet resumed full-time employment in China or who returned (or arrived) to work in China after January 1, 2023. The successful applicants will be required to resign from the overseas jobs, and to guarantee a full-time work in China for at least 3 years. If you intend to apply, please fill out the information collection form by March 31st via the following link: https://wj.sjtu.edu.cn/q/v9E8zMkM, and inform the secretaries of respective divisions. The secretaries will assist you in preparing any additional required documents.
