How Do I Get Started in Postdoctoral Research?

A post-doctoral research mobile station (hereinafter referred to as a mobile station) refers to an organization that can be established to recruit post-doctoral researchers within the scope of a first-level discipline within a university or research institute.

Postdoctoral Research Station

The postdoctoral system has only been established in China for more than thirty years, and has made due contributions to the cultivation of high-level outstanding talents in China.

Conditions for setting up a postdoctoral research mobile station

Higher education institutions and research institutes applying for the establishment of a postdoctoral research mobile station must declare according to the first-level disciplines in the disciplines and professional directories, and have the following basic conditions: 1. Subjects, majors and a certain number of doctoral students with doctoral degree guidance Teachers, and have trained personnel who have obtained doctorate degrees; 2. Have strong scientific research strength and high academic level, undertake high-level research projects, scientific research work is at the forefront of domestic research; 3. have the necessary scientific research conditions and scientific research Funding, and can provide necessary living conditions for postdoctoral researchers.

Conditions for setting up a postdoctoral research station

Large, extra large enterprises or enterprise groups applying for the establishment of postdoctoral scientific research workstations, scientific research and production institutions, high-tech enterprises with a certain scale, high-tech development zones, economic and technological development zones, and entrepreneurial parks for overseas students must have the following basics Conditions: 1. A national enterprise technology center or a sound research and development institution, a high level of scientific and technological personnel and a high level of scientific research projects; 2. A strong economic and technological strength, attaches importance to talent work, and can be a postdoctoral researcher Staff provide better scientific research conditions and necessary living conditions.

Qualifications for postdoctoral research

Those who have obtained a doctorate degree, excellent academic performance, good health, and generally under 35 years of age can apply for postdoctoral research. Entrusted with cultivating, training doctors, serving personnel, and active-duty military personnel, the application for postdoctoral research must be approved by the relevant units. Incumbents may not apply for part-time post-doctoral research. Doctors trained by the establishments generally cannot apply for post-doctoral research in the mobile stations of the same first-level discipline. ^[3]

Outbound process

I. Postdoctoral Outbound, Outbound Application Process

1. Post-doctoral researchers should submit written materials such as work summary and research report to the station setting unit upon expiration of their work period. A research report must be sent to the National Library for retention.

2. After receiving the outbound application from postdoctoral researchers, the station setting unit shall organize relevant experts to review their research work and form written materials to be included in their personal files.

3. If the station-setting unit is allowed to leave the station after review, it must also be reported to the National Boss Administration Office or the relevant provincial (municipal) post-doctoral work department for review and record, and issued by the National Boss Administration Office or the relevant provincial (municipal) post-doctoral work department The following materials:

a. "Examination and Approval Form for Post-Doctoral Researcher Work Distribution" signed by the National Bureau of Management of the People's Republic of China or the relevant provincial (city) post-doctoral work authority;

b. "Introduction Letter for Postdoctoral Researcher Assignment" (postdoctoral researchers who cannot choose their own career after leaving the station are not applicable);

c. Post-doctoral researchers and their spouses, minor children's settled letters of introduction and registration of personnel (post-doctoral researchers or spouses who cannot choose careers after leaving the station are active servicemen, college students, technical secondary school students, undergraduates, graduate students, Not applicable to overseas personnel);

d. Letter of Introduction to Spousal File Transfer. Applicable to post-doctoral spouses assigned to work in Beijing.

e. Postdoctoral Certificate. Post-doctoral researchers who have passed the assessment will be issued a "post-doctoral certificate" which is uniformly printed, numbered and stamped by the Ministry of Personnel and the National Post-Doctoral Management Committee.

Second, the materials required for the outbound procedures

1. Basic materials required for going out

"Registration Form for Postdoctoral Researchers".

"Examination and Approval Form for Post-Doctoral Researchers after the Expiration of Their Work Period";

"Acceptance Letter" issued by the accepting unit with independent personnel authority;

The establishment shall check the post-doctoral ID card, marriage certificate, and child birth certificate (or only child certificate) and the relevant certificate shall be issued by the unit;

Outbound report completed

2. Other special materials to be provided when going out of the station:

Those who have entrusted substitution training, orientation training, and postdoctoral work as an incumbent during the PhD study period did not provide the relevant unit with the materials that indicate "can choose to work independently after leaving the station". If they choose to work independently after leaving the station, they must issue Proof of entrusted training, orientation training and the personnel department of the original work unit to agree to their independent choice of work;

The active service post-doctoral staff who transfer to work in the local area need to issue a certificate of military service transfer (demobilization), or a certificate of approval of the cadres of the military division or above, or a letter of transfer (demobilization) of the PLA General Political Department cadres; The military transfer office issued a letter of introduction.

Local post-doctoral researchers who are assigned to work in the military system should issue a letter of acceptance from a cadre department above the military division;

Postdoctoral researchers who have received funding from the Postdoctoral Science Fund must also submit a Summary Report on Projects Supported by the Chinese Postdoctoral Science Fund.

The station setting unit shall collect the above materials and go to the relevant department to go through the station formalities.

3. Other related matters and requirements

1. Post-doctoral researchers must go out of the station or transfer to another post-doctoral unit to work as a post-doctoral researcher (that is, two post-doctoral doctors, and the policy only allows two post-doctoral doctors);

2. Post-doctoral researchers are out of the station at the expiration of their work period. Except for on-the-job agreements, their employment implements two-way selection and independent job selection;

3. Post-doctoral researchers' professional and technical qualifications

The station setting unit can assess post-doctoral researchers' qualifications for professional and technical positions based on the scientific research ability, academic level, and work results of the post-doctoral researchers during the station.

The post-doctoral researcher's professional and technical job evaluation work can be carried out together with the staff of the station setting unit, or they can be commissioned by the receiving unit to be reviewed by the receiving unit, or the station setting unit can propose professional and technical positions. The qualifications for post-doctoral researchers working at the workstations for senior professional and technical positions can be reviewed by the mobile station unit that jointly trains post-doctoral researchers, or by the senior professional technical review committee at the location of the workstation unit.

4. Post salary standards for post-doctoral researchers and retired staff

The post-doctoral researcher at the station has assigned work at the expiry of the first or second station. Before the accepting unit has not hired his formal professional and technical position, his job salary standard is still determined according to the standard during the station period. , According to the position of employment to determine the corresponding salary standard, but should not be lower than the standard during the station.

If post-doctoral researchers withdraw from the station during the first stop, their post salary will be determined according to the standard of doctoral graduates; if they withdraw from the station during the second stop, they will be determined according to the first stop of post-doctoral researchers. .

Postdoctoral Management Organization

5. Work arrangements for active duty postdoctoral researchers after leaving the station

Active duty post-doctoral researchers return to the original unit after leaving the station. The original unit must ensure that the counterpart work is arranged. If it is difficult to arrange counterpart work, the arrangement can be adjusted within the military-level unit or the entire army.

6. Post-doctoral researchers who go out of the station at their own expense and go abroad at their own expense

Post-doctoral researchers who apply to go abroad at their own expense upon expiry of their work period may go through the relevant procedures at the station setting unit or the local province (city) talent exchange center in accordance with the relevant regulations for going abroad at their own expense. If the local provincial (municipal) talent exchange center receives the post-doctoral researcher's personal files and hukou, the National Boss Administration Office or the relevant provincial (municipal) post-doctoral administration department can handle relevant procedures for it, but does not go through the procedures for the relocation of their spouse and children .
