Postdoc Position in LIU Yijun's Group

Description of Positions:

Professor Yijun LIU’s research group at SUSTech is looking for self-motivated post-doctoral research associates in the general areas of computational mechanics. The post-docs will engage in research on new and efficient algorithms in computational mechanics, such as the fast boundary element method, high-performance finite element method, various meshless methods, and machine learning, with their applications in computational fracture mechanics, structural dynamics and acoustic simulations.

Requirements of Candidates：

The candidates should have a doctoral degree in mechanics, computational mechanics, computational mathematics, or computational physics; have the ability to independently conduct research work; have a good foundation in mathematics and mechanics, as well as computer programming skills; be able to use CAE application software (such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, Fluent, etc.). Knowledge in machine learning (ML) is especially welcome.

Benefits:

1. The postdoctoral appointment is for two years, with a comprehensive annual salary starting at 330,000 RMB (including Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City postdoctoral living allowances). Social insurance and housing provident fund will be provided according to Shenzhen regulations. Postdoctoral benefits are issued according to university staff standards. Outstanding candidates may apply for the President's Excellent Postdoctoral Fellowship, with an annual salary exceeding 500,000 RMB (including Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City postdoctoral living allowances).  

2. Guangdong Province provides a total living allowance of 300,000 RMB (pre-tax) for eligible postdoctoral researchers, and Shenzhen City provides a total living allowance of 120,000 RMB (pre-tax) for eligible postdoctoral researchers, with a funding period of 24 months.  

3. During the appointment period, postdoctoral researchers may apply for Shenzhen public housing through the university. Those who do not use Shenzhen public housing through the university may receive a housing subsidy of 2,800 RMB/month (pre-tax) for two years.  

4. Excellent working environment and opportunities for domestic and international collaboration. Postdoctoral researchers will receive a total of 25,000 RMB for academic exchange activities over two years.  

5. The research group will assist eligible postdoctoral researchers in applying for postdoctoral talent programs. If successful, they may receive up to 1,000,000 RMB in subsidies (not concurrently with Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City postdoctoral living allowances).  

6. Postdoctoral researchers who stay in Shenzhen for full-time work within six months after completing their appointment and sign a labor (employment) contract with an enterprise or institution for more than three years will receive a 360,000 RMB living allowance from the Shenzhen government (subject to the latest Shenzhen application requirements).  

7. Postdoctoral researchers who receive the Postdoctoral Innovative Talent Support Program or the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation Special Funding during their appointment and sign a labor (employment) contract with the city within six months after completing their appointment will receive additional funding from the Shenzhen government at a 1:1 ratio to the national funding standard, up to 300,000 RMB (subject to the latest Shenzhen application requirements).  

8. Postdoctoral researchers who win gold, silver, or bronze awards in the National or Guangdong Province Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition and sign a labor (employment) contract with the city within six months after completing their appointment will receive additional innovation and entrepreneurship rewards from the Shenzhen government at a 1:1 ratio to the national and provincial reward amounts, up to 200,000 RMB (subject to the latest Shenzhen application requirements).  

9. According to Article 39 of the "Shenzhen Postdoctoral Work Management Regulations," the funding items in this regulation do not overlap with the Shenzhen Newly Introduced Doctoral Talent Living Allowance (100,000 RMB).
