The School of Physics at Peking University invites applications for faculty members in Applied Physics, including full professors with tenure, associate professors with tenure and on tenure track, and assistant professors on tenure track.
Physics at Peking University (PKU Physics) boasts over 100 years of history, dating back to the “Wuli Men” (physics division) of Peking University launched in 1913. It opened the door to modern science in China, and was the founder of nuclear science, semiconductor physics, and microelectronics in China. Over the past 100 years, PKU Physics has made distinguished contributions to the nation and to the world in both education and academia.
At present, PKU Physics covers most areas of physics. Many distinguished talents have studied or worked here, including more than 150 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. PKU Physics recently opened a major in Applied Physics, guided by international scientific frontiers and national strategic needs. It not only encourages original discoveries, but also actively promotes applied research for national scientific and technological needs. At the same time, it advocates multidiscipline studies.
The Applied Physics major of Peking University roots in the State Key Laboratory of Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Technology and the Beijing Key Laboratory of Medical Physics and Engineering. It has a complete curriculum system, advanced laboratories, and a high-level research platform suitable for research and student training. Currently, there are 37 full-time faculties working in the major.. Many famous scholars from China and abroad have also been hired as part-time and visiting professors, including Nobel Prize winner Professor Gérard Mourou.
