Chapter 740： Is material science really a sinkhole?

Latest website: Huang Jie's dream since childhood was to become a scientist.

And he is indeed on the road to realization.

Bachelor and Master of Chinese University of Science and Technology, Ph.D. of Kyoto University, post-doctoral fellow of National Institute of Materials Science of Japan, and now an associate researcher of Zhangjiang Laboratory in Magic Capital.

Everything is moving towards a better future.

But he was not happy.

It stands to reason that the associate researcher is also a deputy senior title. His salary is not low, with an annual salary of more than 400,000 before tax. In addition, Zhangjiang Laboratory is applying for a national laboratory, which looks very good.

But he doesn't like it here.

The Zhangjiang Laboratory was jointly built by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Magic City government. It has strong funds and strong background.

But there are still old writing brushes that are ranked by seniority. What disgusts him the most is that the executives are high above. Every time they apply for funds or report to purchase equipment, they will be disgusted, and they have to learn from other people to please the executives.

Sometimes he felt like he was about to become the kind of person he hated before.

And his research group has several big cows, and his daily work is only doing some low-tech things.

Such as writing experimental plans, collating experimental data and writing experimental reports; writing and applying for research funds; and guiding and training experimental staff.

Coupled with the salted fish life of 9 to 5 + weekends, his enthusiasm and passion are being consumed by the years.

Continue to stay here, I am just a screwdriver, just a scientific researcher.

Definitely not a real "scientist".

In a trance, I was walking back on the way back, and there happened to be a cafe on the side of the road.

Huang Jie walked in subconsciously, bought a cup of hot American and sat down.

Magic City is known as the coffee capital and coffee country. Even if it is a representative city of petty bourgeoisie who must drink coffee under precise prevention and control, there is no life without coffee. (hetui)

In the mouth of the coffee, the bitter taste fills the mouth, and the tired spirit is slightly refreshed.

When I was bored, I opened the blind date forum... Cough, I opened the little woodworm forum, and I haven't done much brushing, and what caught my eye was a hot post on the top.

After seeing the title of the post, Huang Jie was stunned.

It seemed that he was afraid that he was dazzled again, so he rubbed his eyes. After repeatedly confirming that it was correct, Huang Jie began to stir in his heart.

[The annual salary of assistant researcher starts from 300,000, and the National Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Semiconductors of Guanghua University (in preparation) recruits 700 people! 】

Clicking on the post, Huang Jie began to read.

【The National Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Semiconductors (under preparation), in accordance with the relevant national, provincial and municipal regulations, in accordance with the principles of "openness, equality, competition, and selection of the best", adheres to the standard of meritocracy and both ability and political integrity, and is now openly recruiting scientific research talents to the society. 】

【I. Introduction to the unit:

The National Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Semiconductors (in preparation) is a national laboratory established in my country for the frontiers of science and technology in the world. It is an important part of the national strategic scientific and technological strength. The main task is to gather high-level talents at home and abroad, promote international exchanges and cooperation, and develop strategic Research on major scientific issues that are unique, forward-looking and fundamental and key core technologies...]

【2. Recruitment positions:

Open recruitment of 700 scientific research talents. The type of position is full-time staff. For details, please refer to the "National Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Semiconductors (in preparation) July 2021 Public Recruitment of Scientific Research Talents Job Demand Table" (see Annex 1). 】

Huang Jie directly skipped the basic recruitment conditions, registration, qualification review, etc. in the middle, and went directly to the recruitment form at the bottom of the page.

From [Researcher], [Associate Researcher], [Assistant Researcher] to [Research Intern], [Research Assistant], almost all other scientific research positions are recruited except for [Postdoctoral Fellow].

Generally speaking, many large laboratories recruit associate researchers and below, and researchers are rarely recruited.

And the salary is also very high, the annual salary of assistant researcher starts at 300,000; full payment of five insurances and one housing fund, enjoys a full range of benefits such as work subsidies, free physical examination, paid annual leave, maternity leave; assists in the declaration of talent projects at all levels, and assists in solving problems Island settlement, children's schooling and other living support issues.

It can be said that, except for the lack of preparation, it is simply perfect.

However, it is better if the establishment is not established. Now the number of establishments given by colleges and universities is becoming less and less, and there are always assessment tasks. If they are not completed, they will be dismissed. The money is enough.

The first one on the recruitment form is [Platform]. This recruitment consists of four laboratories: Lactide Technology Laboratory, Photonic Screen Laboratory, Carbon Nanotechnology Laboratory, and Optical Core Research Center plus one [Others].

This [Other] made Huang Jie's eyes bright.

"The recruitment of Guanghua University is not limited to any research direction?"

【Job description:

1. Have innovative ideas for academic research in the field of materials (not limited to research directions, metal materials, organic polymer materials, inorganic non-metallic materials, composite materials, etc.), and propose disciplinary research directions according to the academic development trend of the field and research topics, with the ability to independently develop groups;

2. Participate in laboratory management, personnel training and external cooperation;

3. Can... 】

After reading the job description, Huang Jie was overjoyed.

What does this description show?

It means that as long as you have enough ideas and abilities, and pass the evaluation of Guanghua University, you can open a research group under this national laboratory and become the leader of the research group!

As we all know, at Guanghua University, meritocracy is based only on ability and not on qualifications.

For example, the two chief scientists of this laboratory, one is 30 and the other is 32, are replaced by other laboratories, which does not exist at all.

No matter how capable you are, you have to endure it!

Huang Jie slowly exhaled a turbid breath.

"Why don't you try?"

Between the heartbeat, the corner of the eye swept the number of replies to this post: 148.

His face changed, and his heart was even more stunned. It was less than an hour after this post was posted!

"Isn't it so scary?"

Huang Jie didn't dare to hesitate, so he hurried home to prepare materials and deliver his resume.

...

Lingnan Province.

Jing Gaojie is a freshman in the third year of high school this year, and the college he enrolled in is Guanghua University.

When I first filled out the volunteer application, I had a quarrel with my family because of this.

I just finished playing the game and was preparing for a break, but I didn't expect to get the news of Guanghua University again.

Looking at the salary package in the recruitment, Jing Gaojie was very excited.

"I rub it, didn't you say that biochemical ring materials are the traditional four tiankeng? I think this salary is higher than computer finance!"

An assistant researcher's annual salary starts at 300,000 yuan, and even a scientific research assistant's annual salary is more than 100,000 yuan. Isn't this more fragrant than 996 programmers?

With doubts, Jing Gaojie posted a comment on the news.

"Tiezi, don't you say that the materials are very pitiful? Why are the salaries so high? I want to learn the materials..."

Within five minutes, several people responded to him.

"Silly boy, only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. Listen to my brother's advice, don't enter the material pit!"

"Some majors are unemployed after graduation. That's right, I'm talking about biochemical environmental materials + civil machinery! (manual funny

"Real warriors dare to apply for materials science and engineeringsquint smile

"The above is not entirely true. Actually, the pit of materials refers to undergraduates. You can't learn anything at all in four years, but you won't be pitted after you get a Ph.D., but it's quite popular."

Until he saw the last reply, Jing Gaojie understood.

"Soga! It looks like the material is pretty good too!"

Jing Gaojie happily decided to follow the material science route in the future.

Since so many people don't dare to learn, it's just a bargain!

Read another Ph.D., enter a laboratory or a college, and earn a high salary!

"Hey, I'm still smart."

Irons, tomorrow will be the double monthly pass, everyone will wait until 0:00 to vote for the monthly pass!

Try two more tomorrow. . .
