Introduction of recruitment for “Young Talent Plan”

In order to further advance the integration of micro-nano scale information, material, and life sciences, HIC will assemble international talent, reform systems, establish innovation mechanisms, and optimize organizational structures. We want to fill our teams of scientists with the vitality to not only be adept at solving problems within China, but also possessing the ambition to have an international influence in their research work.

“Young Talent Plan” follows the following principles:

• Abiding by Code: We follow the law of talent development and scientific research, in setting up scientific evaluation objectives, indicators and methods, and guiding young researchers to devote themselves to research and pursue excellence; 
• Reliable Support: Provide selected candidates appropriate support in relation to performance in order to reward forward-looking independent scientific research;  
• Tailored Plan: Under the framework of the overall scientific research planning of Hangzhou Science and technology innovation center, the candidates of the "Young Talent Plan" can choose their own topics, set up their own projects, prepare their own budgets, and use funds according to regulations; 
• Educational Introduction: Adhere to the principle of introducing and training young talents, pay attention to the training of young talents of Hangzhou Science and technology innovation center while increasing the introduction of young talents; 
• Classified Evaluations: According to the characteristics of each discipline, establish a classified evaluation index system and evaluation procedure; emphasis international peer review, application and market orientation of application foundations and market performance; 
• Objectivity: Accurately carry out talent selection and evaluation, introduce international evaluations; further improve the openness of the "youth talent excellence program," and ensure the independence and objectivity of the evaluation results.
