2. Postdoc/Research Positions in Life Quality Engineering Group

Research Area:

Human nutrition is now recognised as a dynamic process which affects our lives in a time-dependent way. Energy and mass balances are dynamic and are linked to our health situations including psychological states. Chemical engineering principles are crucially important in understanding these processes in space and in time. Treating the human body as a chemical factory is one way to reveal these processes. Candidates with a strong background in chemical reaction engineering, particularly in simulation, are encouraged to apply. Those who have studied bio-related topics, experimental works included, are preferred.

Positions: Postdoctoral Researcher

【About us】

Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (SIGS) is a public graduate education institution jointly established by Tsinghua University and the Shenzhen Municipal Government against the backdrop of national efforts to deepen higher education reform and promote the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

SIGS was founded as an expansion and integration of the Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University (established in 2001), and the Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen Institute (TBSI, established in 2014). It was officially unveiled on March 29, 2019. It prioritizes the development of first-class engineering disciplines at Tsinghua University, complemented by the Innovation Management discipline, in line with Tsinghua's development strategy and the industry demands of Shenzhen.

In 2025, we successfully recruited the distinguished international scholar in nanoscience and chemistry, Professor Charles M. Lieber, a member of five U.S. National Academies and a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Looking ahead to 2030, our goal is to establish an international faculty team. We are now inviting applications globally for tenure-track and tenured positions, including Professor, Associate Professor, and Assistant Professor.

Tsinghua SIGS provides competitive salary, start-up packages and basic supportive funding. We will keep your application in our resume database for the next round according to the arrangement of each area. All documents will be treated confidentially. Tsinghua SIGS thanks all applicants for their interest. Only candidates shortlisted for interviews will be notified of the application results.
