Position Description

The Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (IASM) at Zhejiang University invites applications for multiple postdoctoral positions in all major areas of Pure 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 IASM 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 default (negotiable in special cases).

The Qiushi Fellow is a distinguished three-year position that is open to candidates who have already demonstrated outstanding achievements in research. It offers an internationally competitive salary and is endowed with a generous amount of travel funding. The fellowship includes teaching one course per academic year at the School of Mathematical Sciences. The course may be taught in English and may be chosen according to the candidate's preferences.

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

The deadline for applications is December 15th, 2025 (applications submitted after 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

- a curriculum vitae

- a 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 IASM (http://www.iasm.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 information about the IASM at Zhejiang University can be found at http://www.iasm.zju.edu.cn/.
