Open positions with highly competitive salaries for graduated or soon-to-graduate outstanding Ph.D. students in Energy Science and Engineering

 

I reproduce below an email I received from a professor at a university in that country, which has recently been hiring many top scientists in Europe and the United States, as well as the reply I sent him. Regarding the Outstanding-level qualification, it is very likely that it corresponds to the one used at top universities in the United States and Europe, which I mentioned here. https://zenodo.org/records/19001905

Dear Professor Weiwei Han,
Thank you for your email. I also take this opportunity to share a broader reflection. It is somewhat regrettable that my country—and Europe more generally—does not seem to pursue a strategy comparable to China’s when it comes to valuing, attracting, and supporting top scientists. In recent years I have been increasingly impressed by the long-term vision China appears to be implementing in science and technology, particularly its determination to position itself among the world’s leading scientific powers. This is a topic I have reflected on several times on my blog. For instance, I wrote about China’s strategic mobilization of science in contrast with Europe’s current priorities in:

More broadly, I have long advocated the idea of a scientific society and in some ways, the trajectory China is following seems to be contributing to making parts of that vision closer to reality. Check my recent post "Harvard Is Wrong: Underpaying Talent Hurts Science Far More Than High Salaries"

Best regards
Pacheco Torgal
