Postdoctoral Positions
About the job
The School
of Mathematical Sciences at Zhejiang University invites applications for
multiple postdoctoral positions in all major areas of Pure and Applied
Mathematics. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. degree in mathematics and
demonstrate outstanding promises in both research and teaching.
Starting
from this hiring cycle, the School will offer two types of postdoctoral
positions: the newly launched Qiushi Fellow and the traditional Postdoctoral
researcher. Both types of positions will start on September 1st, 2026 by

The Postdoctoral
researcher is a two-year position for researchers in the early stages of
their career, possibly extendable by an additional year.
The

the deadline might be considered but not guaranteed). All applications will be
considered for both types of positions. Candidates should furnish a placement
dossier consisting of
- a cover
letter

research statement
- a
teaching statement
- three
letters of recommendation addressing research (to be provided directly by the
referees).
In
addition, you are encouraged (but not required) to identify a potential mentor
who is a faculty member of the School of Mathematical Sciences (http://www.math.zju.edu.cn/).
Application materials should be submitted electronically through the AMS
website https://www.mathjobs.org/.
Candidates
from all nations and ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Further
