Position opening for professorship, research scientist and postdoctoral fellow

 

The Collaborative Innovation Center for Particles and Interactions (CICPI) at the University of Science and

Technology of China (USTC) invites applications for following positions:

 

- Faculty positions at associate or full professor level with tenure

 

Candidates whose research and professional accomplishments advance the university’s mission and meet

established USTC academy criteria would be supported by either the National Thousand Young Talents

Program, or the Hundred Talents Program of the CAS, depending on their achievement and academy potential.

 

The applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics, a demonstrated record of accomplishment in research as shown

by ongoing research programs, and a publication record that provides academic productivity and creativity.

Successful candidates will enjoy highly collegial and interactive environment, and a generous startup funding.

Salaries will be commensurate with experiences and qualifications of the candidates.

 

- Research scientists at the associate and full professor level

 

The positions are for three years with possibility of extending to another three years, or even being

promoted to tenured positions, depending on professional and academic performance. The successful

applicants should have a Ph.D. in physics, a demonstrated record of accomplishment in research and

a publication record that provides academic productivity and creativity.

 

- Postdoctoral positions

 

The positions are for two years, with a possibilityof extending to another two years. The positions can lead to

research scientists or tenure-track assistant professors, depending on research performance during the period

at USTC. The candidates should have a Ph.D. by the date of appointment.

 

CICPI at USTC is one of the leading research centers in China for experimental particle and nuclear physics. The

center hosts several research groups in experimental particle and nuclear physics and theoretical nuclear physics.

We have the National Key Laboratory for Particle Detection and Electronics supported by the Ministry of Science

and Technology of China.

 

Our research programs include both domestic projects in China and several large international collaborations.

These projects include: the BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII); the ATLAS

experiment at CERN; the STAR experiment at BNL; the JLAB 12 GeV upgrade program, the Belle experiment

at KEK; the Dayabay nuclear reactor neutrino experiment; the space dark matter search experiment DAMPE; the

Large Area High Attitude Cosmic Ray project and the development of positron beam and muon beam at Chinese

Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). We are also actively performing R&D of the particle detection for future

accelerator and non-accelerator based experiments. The research fields of theoretical physics are mainly

phenomenology of particle physics, the intermediate and high energy nuclear physics.

 

Applicants who are interested in the above or related fields are encouraged to submit applications with their CV,

publication list, research interests and arrange at least five/three recommendation letters (faculty/research scientist

and postdoc) via emails to qunwang@ustc.edu.cn and copied to zhaozg@ustc.edu.cn.
