Any outstanding young person who has recently obtained a doctorate degree at home and abroad, has excellent morals, is in good health, is under 35 years of age, and has not yet formally assigned a job can be a postdoctoral researcher (hereinafter referred to as "postdoctoral") . Considering that the age of those who have obtained a PhD in recent years is generally too old, the age requirement for post-doctoral students can be relaxed to forty during the trial period.

Article 2: In order to encourage the exchange of talents, draw on others' strengths, and avoid academic "inbreeding", doctoral students trained by the station building units shall not apply for admission to the postdoctoral research mobile station (hereinafter referred to as the "station") in the same discipline of the unit after graduation.

Chapter II Application Procedures and Approval Authority

Article 3: After applying for a doctoral degree, after completing a doctoral dissertation, you can submit an application form and a letter of recommendation from two doctoral supervisors in the subject area and other supporting documents to the station building unit in the subject area. Applicants can apply to several station building units at the same time, but once the station building unit is determined, the application to other units should be withdrawn immediately.

Article 4 The academic institution of the station-building unit shall evaluate the applicant's scientific research ability, academic level, and the scientific research results that have been obtained. The station-building unit shall approve and select the best candidates for employment. The post-doctoral candidates should fill in the "Post-doctoral Researcher Registration Form". The station-building unit shall submit copies of the Registration Form, mentor recommendation letter, and doctorate certificate to the Science and Technology Cadre Bureau of the State Science and Technology Commission, and report to the superior authority of the station-building unit for the record.

Article 5 In order to ensure the smooth progress of post-doctoral research, the station building unit and the post-doctoral candidates may sign a work agreement that stipulates the responsibilities, rights and other matters of both parties. The specific content of the agreement shall be determined by the construction unit.

Chapter III Research Topics

Article 6 The research directions and research topics of postdoctoral fellows shall be put forward by me on the premise of seeking to combine the key projects undertaken by the station-building unit, and seek the relevant expert opinions of the station-building unit for approval.

Chapter IV Working Term

Article 8 During the post-doctoral work in the station, if the research project is completed in advance, I can apply for it and leave the station in advance with the approval of the station construction unit. If it is not completed within two years, it can be approved by the superior authority of the station construction unit and the time can be appropriately extended. In general, the extension period should not exceed six months.

Article 9 When the post-doctors work in the station and their performance is not suitable for continuing post-doctoral research work, the station-building unit may report to the higher authority for approval and persuade them to leave the station, and the work shall be arranged by the Science and Technology Cadre Bureau of the State Science and Technology Commission.

Article 10 During the post-doctoral work in the station, those who have been absent for more than half a year due to illness should terminate their work. After their health is restored, the work will be arranged by the Science and Technology Cadre Bureau of the State Science and Technology Commission.

Chapter V Funds and Wages and Benefits

Article 11 The daily expenses of post-doctoral fellows are allocated to the station-building unit by the actual number of scientific and technological cadres and bureaus of the State Science and Technology Commission at the rate of 12,000 yuan per person per year, which is used to subsidize scientific research work and personal living welfare costs ( Including wages, bonuses, medical expenses, hardship subsidies, family visits, subsidies, etc.). The expenses for scientific research work shall generally not be less than 75% of the post-doctoral daily expenses. The superior authority of each station construction unit has the right to supervise and inspect the use of this money.

Article 12 The salary of postdoctoral fellows shall be temporarily paid in accordance with the minimum salary of lecturers (assistant researchers) after the salary reform during the first station work period, and shall enjoy the same benefits as regular employees of the station construction unit.
