I Have a Research Support System

Chapter 366: Difficulty of obtaining a teaching position at Mordu University

Schools will officially start in one week. According to the practice of Magic University, the current week is also called "week zero".

Xu Qiu’s new counselor during graduate school, Bao Wei, has started working, chatting in groups, sending emails...

The number of counselors in the Department of Materials is relatively scarce. Therefore, doctoral students, master students, direct doctoral students, and master-doctoral students at the same level all share a counselor, usually by the "talent engineering" students.

Sometimes even the first-year PhD students become their own counselors.

Of course, Xu Qiu did not encounter this special situation. Bao Wei is currently a young associate researcher employed by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

Xu Qiu deliberately checked Bao Wei’s resume and found that he graduated with a Ph.D. from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Magic University five years ago, and then went to the University of California at Berkeley for two years as a postdoc and a visiting scholar. I worked as a senior engineer at Mordu Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute for three years, and now he is transferred to Mordu University as a young associate researcher.

The title of "Young Associate Researcher" sounds pretty good, but in fact, this title is not formal, and it is not a general purpose. It may be recognized in the current school. If you go out, other universities will not It must be recognized that the level is theoretically equal to the associate professor, but after all, it is not an associate professor, so it can be considered that it is approximately equal to a lecturer, and the next level of promotion is an associate professor.

It can also be seen how difficult it is to enter the Magic City University:

First of all, Bao Wei is a Ph.D. from Mordu University;

Secondly, he has two years of foreign exchange experience, three years of experience as a senior engineer, and a bonus for party and government work experience;

Again, he has more than ten SCI works;

In the end, the big boss Bao Wei went to is also one of the few “Yangtze Rivers” in the materials department, Yang Zhenhua.

All these factors add up, and Bao Wei has to work as a counselor for three years before he has a chance to get the title of associate professor.

Of course, in this case, Bao Wei basically went through a process. After the three years of counselor work, the "young associate researcher" will be promoted directly to associate professor without much suspense.

After all, Yang Zhenhua is now over 60 years old. He has a high probability of bringing Bao Wei over to take his class. Bao Wei's conditions for evaluating associate professors are basically up to the standard, and the department will certainly not be too obstructed.

Yang Zhenhua's main research direction is "Material Failure Analysis". Xu Qiu took his "Material Failure Analysis" course before his junior year.

The teacher's lecture is quite interesting, and the accent of the speech is more recognizable, similar to the Putonghua blended with Mandarin.

In the class, Yang Zhenhua introduced a project they did: "Analyze the material failure of a rubber gasket in a nuclear power plant. Then, based on the analysis results, he developed a new type of rubber gasket that can last a long time without failure." In general, their research is more biased towards practical applications, which is different from Wei Xingsi's relatively more conceptual field.

Xu Qiu checked the new student account mailbox, and there were only a few emails in it, including the welcoming new classmates sent by the school's student affairs office and the "precautions for school start" sent by the counselor Bao Wei.

After enrolling, Xu Qiu’s new student ID is 1x11030001, and the initial password of his mailbox is the last six digits of his ID number. After seeing this student ID, he committed another occupational disease again. He couldn’t help but study the group emails sent by counselors. Student ID of other students in China.

After some careful deduction, it is concluded:

The first two are the year of enrollment, the third "1" refers to doctoral students, if it is a master's student, the third is "2", and the fourth to lower six "103" are materials physics and The chemical code, the last four digits "0001" is the number first.

Xu Qiu didn't know how this number came from, anyway, it was definitely not arranged according to the pinyin of the surname, but anyway, I got the student number 0001, which felt pretty cool, at least easy to remember.

In the instructor’s email, there are still many and complicated things related to the start of school, including training plans, course selection, selection of tutors after the start of school, class opening meeting, submission of materials, school registration, school start physical examination, dormitory allocation, etc...

It's so special...

However, as a student, it is impossible to avoid these things. You must handle everything patiently.

They are all grown-ups, and it is the basic principle of being a person not to cause trouble to others.

Training program. Xu Qiu has previously understood that direct PhD students need to take about 40 credits of courses. After 8 points of English courses are exempted, there are still 32 points. He intends to complete all courses in two years. About 8 credits of courses are taken every semester, which is like three or four courses.

Several senior sisters in the research group, Tian Qing, Chen Wanqing, and Wu Feifei have helped Xu Qiu to step on the thunder, and compiled a list of graduate students' "water class". The so-called "water class" is not Need to roll the call, open-book exam at the end of the term, or do not take the exam and only need to do the kind of PPT presentation.

Xu Qiu naturally laughed at this list of "water courses". It wasn't that he didn't want to attend the class. It was because the density of knowledge of these basic courses was too low for him.

Because the instructor needs to consider all the students, it is impossible to explain a certain field too deeply. It is more simple science. If you want to obtain cutting-edge and professional knowledge, it is better to read the literature yourself.

For example, with the idea of ​​broadening his horizons, Xu Qiu reads several new CNS main journals every week, which can be regarded as accumulation for himself. After all, if he wants to impact the CNS in the future, the quality of his own work is one aspect, language expression and drawing. The same should be done to be nearly perfect.

Elective. As a freshman, there is only one round of course selection, that is, free course selection and withdrawal in the first two weeks after the beginning of the semester, and the number of graduate students is relatively small. There is almost no case that the course cannot be selected. Even if it is not selected, talk to the teacher You can also let the teacher directly import the student's student ID in the background, this is not a big problem.

The choice of tutors after the school starts. PhD students, direct PhD students, and postgraduate students have already confirmed their mentors when they are admitted, so there is no need to take this step.

This item is mainly for master students, including two-year professional masters and three-year science masters. They need to conduct two-way mutual selection between students and tutors one month after admission, and students are not encouraged to enter the research group in advance ...

If you are really stupid to follow the school path, you can only drink soy sauce one month before the school starts.

The mentor selected in the end is either an associate professor with no funding, or the kind of BT mentor who is fascinating.

In fact, from the school’s policy, Xu Qiu can also roughly see the future trend. Master students do not aim at cultivating their scientific research capabilities. Maybe they will expand their enrollment later. The gold content of PhD students may not drop too much, but the status of master students It may be about the same as undergraduates a few years ago, especially like a two-year professional master's degree, which basically means coming to take two-year courses.

The trend in liberal arts majors is even more obvious. For example, the majors in the School of Economics and the School of Management are directly marked with prices. The tuition is very expensive, which is equivalent to spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a degree.

But even so, many people still flock to it. After all, the Faculty of Economics and Management of Mordu University are still very famous. Although hundreds of thousands are a bit expensive, the effect is similar to that of gilding abroad, and it is more convenient. If you work in Magic City, you can still study on the job.

The class meeting, which is scheduled for the first week after the official start of school, is estimated to be a normal process.

submit material. Direct doctoral students, doctoral students, and continuous graduate students need to submit a research plan, which is similar to the opening report. Xu Qiu, as a direct doctoral student of this school, has already completed this step.

Physical examination. Just at the school hospital, according to several senior sisters, it is some routine tests, taking blood, taking X-rays, and measuring the eyesight under glasses.

Finally, the dormitory issue.

The results of the dormitory allocation have just been updated today. Xu Qiu logs on to the school URP website to check.

His dormitory is assigned to 402A, Building 16, North District, Handan Campus. Freshmen do not have a card for the time being, and they need to get their dormitory keys directly from the North District Property with the admission notice.

Because the school system only prompts room numbers without showing roommates, after the announcement of the dormitory news, the new class group became active, and they used the room number as a "secret" to find roommates.

Xu Qiu glanced at the group chat and stopped paying attention. Anyway, he would know it after a week at most, so it's okay to leave a little suspense for himself.

In addition, Tao Yan deliberately sent a message to report his dormitory number, but unfortunately the two new dormitories were not separated this time.

According to Xu Qiu’s inference, the school should divide the dormitories of several direct doctoral students into one, because the accommodation treatment for the first two years of the direct doctoral degree is equivalent to that of the master degree, and the accommodation conditions will be upgraded to the level of doctoral students in the third to fifth years. In this way, in the third year of the doctoral degree, when the dormitory is changed, it can be adjusted uniformly. If the direct doctoral students and the masters are mixed together, you will find one less hole here and one less hole there. It is more troublesome to adjust~www.mtlnovel .com~Caiyi216, Tian Qing was solely responsible for the charge transport test, Mo Wenlin was responsible for the preparation of the device, so Han Jiaying got out of time and sat at the desk writing.

After Xu Qiu read the mail, he decided to go to the North District to see the situation of the dormitory in person.

So, he got up to wrap around the waist of the school girl from behind, and whispered in her ear: "School girl~"

"Ah~" Han Jiaying responded softly with a trembling tone: "Brother, what's the matter?"

Xu Qiurou said: "Wait for me to test the DSC of the IDIC-4F material. I made an appointment this afternoon, okay?"

Han Jiaying's expressionless face: "Oh, I know." After speaking, she shook her body and tried to escape from Xu Qiu's arms symbolically, but after trying for three seconds, she stopped after she found that she had no results. Come down, pouting, making a look like I need to be coaxed.

Xu Qiu smoothed the hair on the school girl's head, "Be good~ wait for me to come back and invite you to drink milk tea."
