Associate / Full Professor of Gas Sensors at School of Physical Science and Technology

Founded in 1896 as the “Imperial Chinese Railway College”, SWJTU is one of China’s earliest higher education institutions with world-class engineering programmes. Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU) is now recruiting international talents from all over the world to promote its internationalization, teaching and research levels. The University offers challenging posts coupled with generous remunerations and benefits. In addition, you may enjoy China’s most favorable living conditions here in Chengdu, a metropolitan in Southwest China famous for its cultural heritage and modern resplendency.

School of Physical Science and Technology (SPST) at Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU) is originated from the general physics teaching and research section in 1948. After the developing process of the department of applied physics, school of science, SPST has become a harmonious developed teaching and research school with the combination of basic teaching and professional talent training, the combination of the basic research and applied research, and the combination of science and technology. In SPST, the academic education system covers three levels, including doctor degree, master degree and undergraduate degree, where two undergraduate majors and directions are applied physics and electronic information science and technology. Besides, SPST has one first-level doctoral and master discipline of Physics and one first-level master discipline of Electronics Science and Technology. In addition, there are many research groups consisted of high pressure science and technology, electromagnetic field and microwave technology, high power microwave technology, fusion science, photoelectric engineering and nondestructive testing, theoretical physics and quantum optoelectronics.

Materials Physics Team consists of 3 professors, 3 associate professors and 5 lecturer. The team mainly focuses on the preparation and growth mechanism exploration of thin film materials, nanomaterials and new energy materials, and further the design and functional application of new sensor devices. The team has a complete material and device preparation laboratory, as well as a high-performance computer server cluster. A number of research results have been made in the preparation of new functional materials, Raman spectroscopy surface enhancement, material structure and performance prediction under extreme conditions, computer chip heat dissipation, thermoelectric material design, etc., and many high-quality research papers have been published.

Main Responsibilities:

The department is searching for excellent candidates to develop a world-leading research program in gas sensors, i.e. new gas sensors whose properties show highly sensitive and selective. The candidate will have an outstanding research record in sensors, with a strong focus on applications and related technologies. At the assistant professor level, commitment to teaching and the ability to lead a research group are expected.
