The Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMR, CAS) was founded in 1953 and the current director is Prof. Lu Ke. The IMR, CAS has firmly established itself as an important base for materials science and engineering research in China. The IMR, CAS focuses mainly on high performance metallic materials, new inorganic nonmetallic materials, advanced composite materials, as well as materials engineering including materials synthesis and fabrication, processing, application, corrosion and protection, and calculation and simulation.

 

The IMR, CAS whole-heartedly invites inland and overseas scholars to apply for the following faculty positions in the materials and related fields:

A qualified candidate should have a Ph.D. degree, be under 45 years old, and from overseas hold an associate professor/above or equivalent positions, with a minimum of four years relevant working experience in overseas research institutions. A candidate having a professor title can be extended to 48 years old.

A qualified candidate should have a Ph.D. degree, and be under 40 years old, and from overseas hold an assistant professor/above or equivalent positions, with a minimum of four years relevant working experience in overseas research institutions. A candidate having an associate professor title can be extended to 45 years old.

A qualified candidate should have a Ph.D. degree, and be under 38 (35 preferred) years old and with a minimum of two years relevant working experience in overseas research institutions.

A prospective fellow should have obtained his Ph.D. not more than three years and be under 35 years old. Each Fellow will receive a package of salary and benefit of RMB 100,000-150,000 per year and a research grant amounting to RMB 500,000.
