Support and guarantee

Be eligible for talent subsidies in Changsha City as per policy (including living allowances and housing purchase subsidies ranging from 130,000 to 200,000 yuan).

During the period of being at the station, the school will calculate the working years. For postdoctoral researchers without previous work experience before entering the station, their working time will be calculated from the date of entering the station.

3. Postdoctoral researchers are immediately rated as assistant researchers upon entry, and the quota for recognizing associate researchers during the postdoctoral period is listed separately.

4. The university has specially established the "Outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow" award. Those who are selected can apply for a teaching and research position with a permanent staff status after completing their postdoctoral research.

5. Enjoy the same rewards for scientific research achievements as the teachers of this school. During the period of being in the station, one can settle down in this school, and their chilPostdocen can enjoy the same benefits for nursery and school enrollment as the chilPostdocen of the school's staff.

The research group will fully assist in applying for the "Innovation Talent Support Program for Postdoctoral Researchers", the "International Exchange Program for Postdoctoral Researchers", and various research funds. We can also recommend you for positions at domestic and foreign universities and research institutions based on your needs.

Introduction to the Co-supervisor

Yuan Dafei is a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Hunan University. After successfully defending his doctoral dissertation at the Key Laboratory of Organic Solids, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in April 2019, he conducted postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Professor Luping Yu, a renowned expert in organic optoelectronics at the Department of Chemistry, University of Chicago (April 2019 - May 2021), and in the laboratories of Professor Michael L. Chabinyc, Chair of the Department of Materials at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Professor Rachel A. Segalman, an academician of the National Academy of Engineering of the United States (2021 - present). He has long been engaged in the design and synthesis of high-performance organic semiconductor materials and the preparation of advanced organic electronic devices, achieving innovative and breakthrough progress in multiple frontier fields such as organic thermoelectric materials, diradical conductive materials, and organic light-emitting field-effect transistor materials. To date, he has published 22 academic papers, including 12 as the first author, in prestigious journals such as Chem (3), J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1), Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. (1), Chem. Sci. (1), Adv. Sci. (1), and Chem. Mater. (1). He has been granted one Chinese and one US patent. In 2019, he was selected as a Potential Energy Rising Star by the Chem journal.

Introduction to Hunan University

Hunan University, founded in 1903,

Hunan University is located in Changsha, a famous historical and cultural city in China. Its campus is situated on the banks of the Xiangjiang River and at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. The university's educational roots can be traced back to the establishment of Yuelu Academy in 976 AD. With a long history and a fine educational tradition, it enjoys the reputation of being a "thousand-year-old institution of learning and a century-old prestigious university". It is a key national university directly under the Ministry of Education, a key university under the "211 Project" and the "985 Project", and a university included in the "Double First-Class" initiative. The university has a Graduate School and 27 colleges, covering 11 disciplines including philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, management, medicine, and art.

Get to Know Changsha

The capital of Hunan Province, selected as one of the first batch of historical and cultural cities in China, is a beautiful mountain and water city with green mountains as its screen and clear rivers flowing through it.

Form seven trillion-yuan industrial clusters in construction machinery, food, new materials, electronic information, cultural creativity, tourism, automobiles and auto parts.

In 2020, Hunan Province's GDP ranked 9th in the country. Changsha's economic aggregate exceeded one trillion yuan. The per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents remained the highest among central cities. The average price of commercial residential properties was the lowest among provincial capital cities in central China. In 2021, the average price of new houses was 9,843 yuan per square meter.

Located at the intersection of the Beijing-Guangzhou, Shanghai-Kunming and Chongqing-Changsha-Xiamen high-speed railways in the shape of a "米" (Chinese character for "rice"), it has direct high-speed rail connections to 23 provincial capitals and municipalities. It integrates metro, maglev, urban rail, and air-rail intermodal transportation, forming a comprehensive transportation hub of national significance.
