Founded in December 2017, the Center on Frontiers of Computing Studies (CFCS), Peking University (PKU), is a university new initiative co-founded by Professor John E. Hopcroft (Turing Laureate) and Professor Wen Gao (CAE, ACM/IEEE Fellow). The center stands in the frontier of computer science, working closely with top universities and research institutions across the world, to build the world-class research center of theoretical computer science and a supporting center for interdisciplinary applications. Research areas span theoretical computing, artificial intelligence, computing and economics, bioscience, medical health, etc.

CFCS, Peking University invites applications for postdoctoral positions. Candidates in the areas of theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, computer vision, computer graphics and etc. are encouraged to apply. Postdocs in the center can apply for Postdoctoral Science Foundation and Natural Science Foundation. In addition, candidates will have the opportunity to teach Turing Class students.

Funding

Each Fellowship is awarded for 24 consecutive months, including annual pre-tax salary 120,000 RMB (200,000 RMB for Boya Postdoctoral Fellowship), social insurances and housing subsidies, etc., and 60,000 RMB subsidy for postdocs with no postdoc flats. Postdoctoral supervisors at Peking University may offer extra subsidy based on the applicants’ academic potential and excellence, and performance.

Promotion Opportunities

Postdocs with two years' postdoc research experience are eligible to apply for senior research positions within postdoc track system at Peking University.

Eligibility

The fellowship is open to highly qualified researchers of all nationalities who are no more than 35 years old and received their Ph.D. no more than three years prior to the submission or are expected to have a Ph.D. within a year.
