About Hunan University
Basic information and contact details for Hunan University
Hunan University is also known as the “One Thousand Year Old University”, thanks to its incredible longevity. Developed from the Yuelu Academy founded in 976 AD, Hunan University is China’s oldest higher education institution.
Hunan University is part of both “Project 211” and “Project 985”, two of the Chinese government’s main investment projects in higher education. The university has been state-run since 1937.
For much of the 20th Century, the university was primarily a technology and engineering university. Around 30 of its alumni have gone on to become members of either the Chinese Academy of Science or the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Most of the programmes in the engineering department can be studied in English.
In the 2000s the university broadened its curriculum to offer a comprehensive range of subjects. The university now has 23 colleges and departments, as well as the Graduate School.
Hunan University’s motto is “Seeking Truth from Facts; Daring to be Pioneers”.
The university campus features ponds, trees and numerous species of flowers, with several buildings in the traditional style of the region. Against the backdrop of the surrounding hills it looks like a Chinese painting.
The university is located in Changsha, capital of the Hunan Province. The region is known as the home of Wulingyuan Mountain and of Mao Zedong.

Research Fellow in Hyperuniform Disordered Materials
University of Southampton
United Kingdom, Southampton
University of Southampton
United Kingdom, Southampton
You will join our team at the Optoelectronics Research Centre and work on the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council funded project HyMeta: Hyperuniform Disordered Metasurfaces for Selective Absorbers. Your primary role will be to undertake theoretical and computational research on hyperuniform disordered photonic materials for frequency-selective solar-thermal absorbers based on metal–dielectric–metal resonator platforms. The project develops hyperuniform disordered metasurfaces, a novel class of photonic structures in which structural correlations are precisely controlled to achieve selective absorption of solar radiation and suppression of thermal emission, enabling highly efficient solar-thermal materials. Your work will focus on the development of theoretical and computational models for light–matter interaction in hyperuniform disordered plasmonic structures, including electromagnetic modelling, optimisation of metal–dielectric–metal resonators, and physics-informed machine-learning approaches for inverse design of frequency-selective metasurfaces. You will also work closely with academic collaborators and industrial partners, contributing to joint research activities and scientific publications. The position is fixed term until 31st August 2027, with a nominal start date of 15th May 2026. To be successful you will hold a PhD* degree (either awarded or nearing completion) or equivalent experience in fields related to the project. You should have substantial practical knowledge and experience in the following areas: nanophotonics disordered photonic materials electromagnetism in structured media computational electromagnetic modelling Strong computational skills and experience with electromagnetic modelling methods including FDTD, FEM, and RCWA are essential as well as experience in developing bespoke electromagnetic simulation software and/or using commercial software including COMSOL Multiphysics and Ansys Lumerical using high-performance computing resources. Experience with machine-learning techniques and previous collaboration with experimental groups or industrial partners would also be advantageous. You should be able to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team including theoretical, computational, experimental, and industrial researchers. For an informal discussion about the position, please contact Prof Marian Florescu (m.florescu@soton.ac.uk). Equality, diversity and inclusion are central to our ethos at the University of Southampton. We are committed to improving equality across science and engineering and welcome applications from candidates who support an inclusive research culture. We give full consideration to applicants wishing to work flexibly, including part-time, and due consideration will be given to applicants who have taken a career break. The University of Southampton is a global top-100 university and home to world-leading photonics research. The Optoelectronics Research Centre provides a highly collaborative environment with access to advanced computational and experimental facilities.
