Multiple Faculty Positions at ShanghaiTech University
Officially approved to open on September 30th 2013 by China’s Ministry of Education, ShanghaiTech University is a small-scale research university of academic excellence jointly established by Shanghai Municipal Government and Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS).ShanghaiTech focuses on science and engineering. The university consists of four schools and two research institutes:School of Physical Science and Technology(SPST), School of Information Science and Technology(SIST), School of Life Science and Technology(SLST), School of Entrepreneurship and Management(SEM), Shanghai Institute for Advanced Immunochemical Studies(SIAIS)and iHuman Institute.
ShanghaiTech is committed to serving the national development strategy. ShanghaiTech seeks innovative solutions to address the challenges that China is facing in the field of energy, material, environment, human health, thus to improve productivity driven by innovation, and contribute to the restructuring and development of China.At the end of 2015, the governing body of Zhangjiang Comprehensive National Science Center has been located in ShanghaiTech and among the first four large-scale scientific facilities initiated by the Center, ShanghaiTech is involved in the construction of Live Cell Imagining Facility, Ultra-Intense and Ultrashort Pulse Laser Facility and Free Electron Laser Facility.
ShanghaiTech is building up a strong faculty of 1000 professors, including 500 tenure-track/tenured professors recruited from around the world and 500 distinguished professors-in-residence from CAS institutes and other prestigious universities or institutes. Among our current faculty(387 by April 2016)are three Nobel laureates, six National Academy of Sciences(USA)members, two Royal Society(UK)fellow, twenty-six CAS members and three Chinese Academy of Engineering members.
ShanghaiTech offers Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, Doctoral degree and Professional Master Degree. The undergraduate students will reach 2,000 and graduate students will reach 4,000(including 3,000 Ph.D. candidates).
ShanghaiTech is actively engaged in the globalization of education and has extensive collaboration with UC Berkeley, University of Chicago, MIT etc. in the field of training of faculty, course sharing, joint degrees, student exchange, academic exchange and joint research. The university is also working to partner with other top Chinese universities.
