Applications are solicited for postdoctoral positions in experimental/theoretical optics and photonics in the research group of Prof. Zhigang Chen/Hrvoje Buljan at Nankai University, China, which is one hour away from the capital Beijing and the alma mater of Shiing-Shen Chern. The areas of emphasis are topological photonics, nonlinear optics, optical trapping and manipulation, and machine-learning photonics. A PhD in physics, optics, or related area is required. It is expected that the candidate should have basic numerical skills and/or optical experimental skills and research experience with a good track of record in publications.
The initial appointment will be for three years, with the possibility of extension pending on performance and research funding. If accepted, the salary is competitive (annual gross salary > RMB 500,000, about $70,000), with possible additional merit award depending on academic performance evaluated at the end of each year. Free on-campus apartment is available, and the living cost is very low compared to income. The position will be funded under the China Postdoctoral International Exchange and Introduction Program, with the purpose of attracting outstanding PhD graduates to join the university and conduct postdoctoral research.
Applicant eligibility:
1. In general, applicants shall be under the age of 35. As for key disciplines supported by the university, the limitation on age can be eased to 38 years old.
2. Both Chinese and foreign graduates obtaining their PhD (from overseas top universities or supervised by an internationally recognized scientist) in recent 3~5 years can apply.
3. PhD candidates who meet the above conditions can also apply if they can start the postdoctoral position by June 2025.
Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Professor Chen or Professor Buljan before April 20, 2024 for application this year. However, the starting date is flexible.
