USTC is among the top-ranked universities in China and our department is committed to provide strong support to postdoctoral researchers, including comfortable salaries starting from 120000 RMB (considering an extremely low daily cost locally) and startup research/travel grants, medical insurance, etc. More information can be found at (http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/~yifucai/PageFrame/openpositions/adpostdocE.pdf) or in Chinese at (http://staff.ustc.edu.cn/~yifucai/PageFrame/openpositions/adpostdoc.pdf).

Applicants are encouraged to directly contact with the listed faculties to learn more about the position descriptions, research duties and requirements.

The appointment is awarded for two years and could be extended for up to 6 additional years (with a title of non-tenure research associate professor) contingent on performance and funding. Promotions to tenure positions (full professor, associate professor) are also expected for candidates with outstanding performance.

To apply, applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, list of publications, statement of research interests, and arrange for at least three reference letters to be sent to Dr. Yi-Fu Cai with an subject as "CfA Fellow Astrophysics Search/Your Name" by email (yifucai@ustc.edu.cn) or directly to one of the faculties listed above by March 1, 2015.
