Shanghai Jiao Tong University, one of the top universities in China,
is undertaking a major expansion aimed at becoming one of the world's
leading centers of scientific research. Building a first-rate
Department of Mathematics is an essential part of this expansion. An
ambitious faculty recruitment program, aimed at attracting several
dozens of faculty members at all levels, including both senior
academic leaders and promising young researchers, will be continued
for the next few years. Salary and start-up packages are competitive
with the peer institutions in China, and at the international level in
special cases.
Candidates will be considered at all ranks, and in all major fields of
mathematics, including algebra and number theory, analysis, applied
and computational mathematics, geometry and topology, and
statistics. Joint offers may be made jointly with the Institute of
Natural Sciences (http://ins.sjtu.edu.cn) at SJTU in the areas of
applied mathematics and statistics.
Endowed Chair Professorships are available to senior mathematicians
with well-established academic credentials. Other senior and junior
professorships are open to candidates with exceptional research
records or potential.
Applications should consist of a curriculum vitae, including a list of
publications, summary of future research plans, and four letters of
reference. Application materials should preferably be electronically
sent to
math.recruitment@gmail.com
They can also be mailed to
The Hiring Committee Department of Mathematics Shanghai Jiao Tong
University Shanghai 200240, China.
Review of applications will begin immediately, and will continue for
the next several years.
