Fwd: Post-doc and faculty positions in cognitive neuropsychology lab in USTC (Chinese)

by Gary Green

*The positions listed below require the applicants can speak Chinese fluently. So I wrote this advertisement in Chinese.* *Sorry about it!* *Best,* *Xiaochu* * * *中国科学技术大学认知神经心理学实验室特聘副教授及博士后招聘* 中国科学技术大学认知神经心理学实验室现在的研究方向现在集中到渴求产生和调控的神经机制上，所涉及到的研究领域为动机、情绪、奖赏和决策，所使用的工具为磁共振、脑电和TDCS（当然也包括行为学），另外也有一些应用性的研究（比如 neurofeedback, 催眠等）。写要求前，先讲讲我们这里的一些优势。 1、科大确实是个好学校，除了北大清华外，我敢说学生素质不低于其他任何国内的学校和研究所，而且资源比较丰富。博士后和副研，我都会配学生助手的，因此这一点很重要的。 2、实验室自己已经具有了磁共振兼容的脑电和TDCS，随时可以使用。 3、学校的磁共振中心正在建设，7月份应该就能使用了。现在做实验是跟周围的医院合作，有特殊的关系。我可以保证只要实验设计的好、被试能召集到，可以在3 周内完成30个被试数据的收集。 4、经费这两年不用担心，基本上能够可以做到，在现有研究方向内想做啥就做啥，再后面就要看我们做的好不好了。 5、我也是刚刚开始建立自己的学术体系，所以只要你有合理的想法，我们都可以去尝试，不用担心由于跟老板之前的结果冲突，而无法得到支持的情况。特别是绝对不会出现，你把东西发给我，我很长时间不会回复的现象。 6、本实验室所在院系为生命科学学院神经生物学系，因此你会发现你会处于非常交叉的一个环境中（从最微观的分子到最整体的生态系统都有人做）。这在国内是很少见的。大家都知道，跨界将很能促进高水平文章的发表。当然也有一些劣势了： 1、合肥！合肥！“在合肥这个偏僻的地方对你的工作（或者科大的发展）有什么负面影响？” 这个问题我被问了无数次了。现在我的标准回答是“合肥现在已经通电了” 。个人一直觉得对于博士后(甚至特聘副教授)这些非永久性的职位，最需要考虑的是所在实验室能否在科研上提供足够的支持，能否出好的成果。其他的都是浮云。有好成果，你下一阶段想去哪儿去哪儿；没有好成果，你想留下来也是不容易的。跟北上广或其他特大城市（合肥大小也是个省会，我觉得在生活水平上怎么也不明显弱于所有非省会的地级市吧。）相比，浮躁和外界干扰的情况要少很多。作科研还是要耐得寂寞的。如果你觉得夜店和大商场是你生活不可缺少的一部分的话，那我们不是一路人。另外，从最近几年的数据看，合肥都在全国最宜居城市的前几名。生活一定不会奢华，但是我觉得会比较舒适。 2、跟北大、北师大和心理所等地相比，科大小同行比较少，交流比不上别人。我个人的背景也是神经生物的，但是我不会要求你有类似的背景。其实我更想你的背景是其他的方面（心理、计算机、数学等）。我还是那个观点，同行交流是重要，但是只有相关但是不同的学科之间的碰撞才能真正产生高水平的思想和成果。另外，坦率的说（可能很多人不认同我的这个观点），我觉得实验室外的交流更多的对PI们产生idea有作用。在你没有掌控一个实验室之前，你更多的精力永远是如何把一个idea变成现实，而不是产生一个idea。最想招的还是博士后。要求：除了需要具有阅读、撰写英文论文的能力、一定的计算机编程基础及良好的团队合作精神外，需要具有下面至少一项背景： 1、使用磁共振（最优先！）或脑电或TDCS研究人高级认知功能的经验（最好是动机、情绪、奖赏或决策相关，至少打算做的是这些方面。完全不相关的，来了，你不舒服我也不舒服。）。 2、使用动物磁共振进行研究的经验。 3、对磁共振（仍然是最优先！）或脑电或TDCS的数据处理技术发展有经验（这个方面的背景可以是工程、数学等）。 4、至少要在科大做3年，如果你想做两期（5-6年），我当然会更高兴。你要是能在之前找到faculty的位置，我肯定也不会拦你。待遇：5万多（签约时的数目）+2万（绩效，只要不是特别差劲，我都会给的）+经费提成（以你为主申请的经费，学校都会给与一定的提成）+发表文章奖励（具体见实验室管理规定，如果足够好的话，会比你前面三项加起来多）。不过，要说一声，这是年薪，税前的，也不是按月平均发的。另外还有2室一厅过渡房(精修带家具)一套。另外结了婚的双方名下在安徽没有房产的，学校一次性补贴44800元（每年学校在金额上有所变动）孩子入科大幼儿园、小学和附初中的权利。科大幼儿园、小学和初中是合肥最好的幼儿园、小学和初中（没有之一）。什么?你的孩子已经上高中了！那么很遗憾，你与我之间的年龄差距已经让我不敢再做你的老板了。：）还有一些老师都有的小福利。特聘副研究员：这是在招co-PI。因为名额有限，而且你的工资的至少一半甚至更多是我支付的，所以要求比较高。我基本的想法是宁缺勿滥。这属于tenure-track的职位。现在名义上是3年一评，最多有两次机会，即6年，如果评不进正式的有编制的副教授的职位的话，就必须走人。但是听我们院长说，这个规定可能不会严格执行，将来可能会演变成，只要我还在科大并且还能养的起你，你就可以一直干下去(当然，如果你在中间评上了正式职位，就跟我在不在科大没关系了。)。当然这种高级的职位，我一个普通教授是没有权利下最后决定的。但是作为主要需求人和重要出资者，我的建议应该会被学校和学院里慎重考虑的。要求： 1、在研究兴趣和背景上，一定要和我match。具体说来就是，采用磁共振或脑电（最好都用过，磁共振优先）研究人或动物的动机、情绪、奖赏或决策的。在这个问题上，我不想迁就你，也不想你迁就我，因为这对你我都是损失。 2、在国内、外比较好的研究组，做过博士后。如果是国外拿的学位，又有比较好的文章，这点可以忽略。 3、至少发表过2篇SCI一作论文，其中至少1篇Neuroimage或HBM及以上等级的文章。待遇：年薪：面议（学校给的范围是10万-20万。但请你不要把自己未来的薪酬往20万附近想象，因为那已经超过了我作为一个正教授所拿到的钱。基本的原则是如果你的文章明显比我现在的co-PI好的话（一篇JNS，一篇Neuroimage，两篇Plos One），我会给你比他更多的钱；如果跟他差不多或者差的不多的话，就一样；如果差的很多的话，估计你也拿不到这个位置。）+基金提成+论文奖励孩子入托入园入校有学校内的过渡房（两室一厅）可以住。此外，还有一些其它的小福利。不包括福利分房（这应该是特聘和正式之间的最主要的差别）。不过，就合肥的房价和你的工资水平而言，只要你不是月光族，就作不了房奴。这和在北上广的情况是完全不一样的。我还没有看到周围的副教授们有为房子发愁的。说实话，我一直认为招人这事跟谈恋爱很类似。谁都有一堆的硬条件，但是最后都要加上一条就是要有感觉。同理，我这不是招学生而是找合作者，因此脾气秉性相投是我更看重的。我理想中的相处模式是，你努力工作，我尽我能力帮助你成功，然后在其中我也能得到我想要的东西。当然这话比较空，我下面写点具体的东西。先介绍一下自己的性格和行为特点吧（每个人都有自己的观察，我只知道自己对自己的观察，应该有不自觉的美化。强烈建议，直接找我的co-pi、博士后和学生了解和综合一下，从而得到更加真实的结论），你先看看能不能接受这样一个人做你的老板。 1、勤奋。因为天资不是太好的问题，自从初中开始，我就是周围环境中，最为勤奋和努力的（至少是之一）。包括现在我仍然是实验室几乎每天走的最晚的，工作时间最长的人（每天工作8-14小时，每周工作6-7天。当然，对于现在的我，这不全是好事，我还在努力的学习如何做一个好的老板）。 2、有事业心。没拿到教授职位之前，那是肯定的，否则我也混不到现在的位置。之后，至少到目前为止，我还是希望自己的科研事业能更上一层楼。另外学院和我之前的导师招我回来时，对我也是有期望的，我怎么也不能让他们失望吧。因此我对整个实验室的所有人，包括我自己，都比较的push。 3、脾气还不错。在公开场合我对实验室成员都是尽量以表扬为主。不过，因为要求比较高，所以私底下提意见也是常有的事。一般我都会很注意语气的。我很少发脾气，所以不用担心我骂人。不过也有人说过我的气场很足，我不是太能理解这种感受。我个人的希望和努力目标是在实验室里能得到与PI位置相符的尊敬和控制权，但是又不至于让人害怕从而不敢说实话。 4、性格外向，有啥说啥。爱说，但是口才不好，所以比较罗嗦。不过，实验室里那么多人，我又有那么事忙，一周最多给你唐僧一次，应该问题不大吧。当然我经常抢在对方充分表达自己前，把自己的想法一股脑都说出来。这跟我目前的身份不符，也是我现在想努力提高的一部分。我希望你的性格和行为特点，跟下面这些内容越接近越好。 1、有足够强的事业心。首先，你已经不是学生而是老师了。在博士毕业后，你选择了继续在科研圈混，就意味着你正式的上了科研这条贼船。因此，我希望你对自己的人生规划，至少是40岁前拿到正教授开宗立业或者自己创办的公司走上正轨（我个人很喜欢有应用前景的科研工作）。我是用青春换明天的信奉者和实践者，如果你认为在你的*_现阶段_*生活和工作同等重要的话，我觉得我们不是志同道合的战友。我对你和我现在实验室里所有的博士后和co-pi的都是这个期望，拼搏3-5 年，拿到2篇10分以上的一作文章，然后踢开我自己当老板去。 2、勤奋和天才至少有一样。我自己是勤奋的人，所以我的确不喜欢不勤奋的人，因为我觉得那是在浪费自己的天分。但是如果你天才到了一定的程度，不需要花很多时间，就能把所有的事都干得很好的话，我也能接受。这里勤奋的标准是我自己，天才的标准是我现在的co-PI。 3、性格上尽量外向一些，有任何问题或不满意的地方，请及时跟我讲。我是独生子女，从小在家里就是说了算的，所以对别人的细微情绪反应不是太敏感。一直对内向不爱说话的人交往无能。博士后和co-pi是一个实验室的核心骨干。如果之间关系出了问题，对实验室的运转将是毁灭性的。 4、工作上积极主动。再次提醒，这些职位都是老师不是学生。我假定你已经受到过了基本的相关科研训练了。到我这里，进一步的训练是一定的，但也是发挥自己的所长的时候了。我在博士和博士后期间都是实验室里主动找老板最多的人。希望你也能如此，至少你主动找我和我主动找你的次数不能差距太大。这样我们可以把课题推进的更快些。 5、我只会鼓励但不会强迫你去申请小基金。保证你的科研经费是我的义务和责任，不是你的。你只需要努力把自己的课题做好就行了。在我的心目中，科研工作是个越老越吃香的职业。因此把目光放长远些会更好。要想挣快钱，做生意最好。 6、最后希望能在为人处事上有一定的成熟度，知道一些基本的道理。比如，欲先取之必先予之；老板push你，至少在一定程度上，是为你好；不要总认为只有自己是对的；这个世界上除了你父母，没人欠你的等。 PI介绍： http://biox.ustc.edu.cn/szdw/szkxybrjh/201206/t20120618_137240.html 实验室主页：http://staff.ustc.edu.cn/~zxcustc/ <http://staff.ustc.edu.cn/%7Ezxcustc/> 有兴趣者请将cv发给我，并与我联系：张效初 zxcustc at ustc.edu.cn <mailto:zxcustc@ustc.edu.cn>

Dear all, In order to perform a small number of server software upgrades, YNiC desktops, remote desktop service and cluster will be unavailable from 6am until 9am on Friday 10th May. We anticipate the work will take around 1.5 hours but have scheduled more time than necessary to ensure that we do not run over into the working day. These updates are necessary to solve some intermittent file access issues which have been seen.
