Chapter 37 The battle for the School of Computer Science
Conference room on the second floor of the Academic Affairs Building.
Luan Haiping, dean of the School of Science, Cai Guoqiang, secretary of academic affairs, Li Ming, deputy director of the Science and Technology Department, and three senior professors from the School of Science, including Zhou Qingyuan, all looked at Zhu Jianrong.
Zhu Jianrong said solemnly, "You all know Wang Hao, right? He was recommended by Professor Zhou and only signed a one-year contract with the school. At that time, he was considered to have scientific research problems."
"Professor Zhou is very discerning."
"Wang Hao is indeed very outstanding!" He said seriously, "I have studied three core papers before, in the field of mathematical computers. They were about Fourier transform-assisted construction of mathematical models. Major domestic and foreign Internet companies,
They all attach great importance to this achievement.”
"I heard someone say that Abayun offered Wang Hao an annual salary of one million and invited him to give a lecture, which cost him 200,000."
"I know this."
Zhou Qingyuan said, "I also heard from others, and then I asked Wang Hao, and the result is indeed very valuable."
Zhu Jianrong nodded and continued, "We were discussing before the next semester to promote Wang Hao to associate professor, which is the seventh level of deputy senior. As long as he applies for it and signs a new contract, it will be no problem."
Everyone else nodded.
Associate professors are already "appointed within the system" and are limited by their teaching years, qualifications, etc. They do not have the right to be directly promoted. Instead, they must submit applications to the Provincial Department of Education. Generally, the Provincial Department of Education will not intervene in the appointment issues of colleges and universities. As long as there are
If a few professors sign and recommend, there will be no problem at all.
They looked at Zhu Jianrong with some confusion, hadn't everything been settled?
At the age of twenty-four, he was promoted to associate professor very quickly.
If it had been ten years ago, it would have been nothing at all, because there were not so many talents at that time. The 24-year-old Dr. Donggang could be classified as a "genius" and would be appointed as an associate professor when he came to the school.
Nowadays, there are too many talents and too many PhDs.
Even if you have a PhD from a top university, you must first sign a seven-year contract when you come to the university, have certain scientific research results, and accumulate two or three years of teaching qualifications before you can be retained as an associate professor.
Being promoted to associate professor at the age of twenty-four is quite amazing.
Looking at the confused eyes of others, Zhu Jianrong said, "Do you know what Wang Hao did in the Science and Technology Department today?" Without waiting for others to speak, he directly gave the answer, "He is going to give a report at STACS and come to ask questions to participate in the International Conference on Science and Technology."
class conference, school funding issues.”
One sentence immediately aroused surprise.
"STACS? Are you sure? You're not kidding, right?"
"Wang Hao? STACS?"
"That computer conference held alternately between Germany and France? I've heard of it, and it seems like the threshold is very high!"
“What research passes?”
"In our school, we haven't heard of anyone participating in these years, right? But that's normal. The School of Computer Science...hey, there aren't many people!"
"so--"
Zhu Jianrong raised his voice and said seriously, "I think action must be taken. The school must keep Wang Hao. When he participates in STACS, other universities will probably know about it. By then..."
No need to say more later.
Others immediately reacted and started talking, "How can I stay? I will be promoted to associate professor in two months."
"Do you think other universities would be unwilling to give a talented person who publishes seven SCI articles a month, including four core journals, and can apply for STACS tickets, an associate professor's teaching position?"
"Our school doesn't seem to be competitive..."
"Now first determine whether he has considered leaving. Professor Zhou Qingyuan, please tell me."
"this……"
Zhou Qingyuan didn't know what to say. Personally speaking, of course he hoped Wang Hao could stay, but considering Wang Hao's career, it would be unreasonable to go to a better university, a high-end scientific research institution, or even a large company outside to get a high salary.
It's a very good choice.
Luan Haiping suddenly said, "It is not practical to be promoted to professor. With his current achievements and qualifications, he will definitely not be able to apply for it, but there is a position that he is very suitable for."
"What position?"
"Researcher at the Faculty of Science Teaching and Research Office!"
Luan Haiping said, "This position is a technical position, equivalent to a researcher in a laboratory. It is appointed by the school alone. It is given a full professor level treatment. There is no problem. There is no need to go through the Department of Education."
"only……"
Zhu Jianrong immediately reacted, "Dean Luan, you are saying that teaching researchers need to shoulder more teaching tasks."
"right."
Luan Haiping nodded, "The basic requirement of the school is that the teaching and research staff of each college's teaching and research section must at least serve as a lecturer for one required undergraduate course, and preferably also serve as a lecturer for a minor postgraduate course."
"This...is the same!"
Zhou Qingyuan nodded and said, "Teaching researchers are generally held by professors. For research talents like Wang Hao, it is best to concentrate on research and not hold any teaching work..."
Zhu Jianrong said, "But you can give it a try. Maybe Wang Hao agrees? The highest salary level for teaching and research staff is that of a full professor, which is a big improvement, right?"
"I object!"
The door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and an old professor wearing glasses pushed the door in. It was Chen Qinghua, the dean of the School of Computer Engineering.
Chen Qinghua rushed in aggressively and shouted, "I object. There is no need to be a teaching researcher at all. We have a laboratory in the School of Computer Science. A computer genius like Wang Hao can work in the computer laboratory as an associate researcher. This
They are much more formal than teaching and research staff."
They are also researchers. The researchers in the teaching and research office are "researchers in the teaching department", and their job responsibilities are to study teaching issues.
Computer laboratory researchers are naturally orthodox scientific researchers.
In addition, the salary of an associate researcher is not high, but one thing to consider is that regular laboratories can apply for projects, and they are projects with high funding, but for the position of teaching researcher, you can only apply for 'teaching research projects'
', it is obviously difficult for the latter to have any funds.
Chen Qinghua shouted a few times to express his dissatisfaction, and then started talking, "Wang Hao's three Fourier transform-related research papers are all computer-related. Of course such a computer genius must come to our computer laboratory..."
"Wow wow wow~~"
He said a lot in succession, making Luan Haiping unable to refute, because Chen Qinghua didn't know one thing yet -
Wang Hao is about to attend the top computer conference STACS.
If he knew, Chen Qinghua would definitely be more energetic and determined.
…
While the quarrels continued in the conference room of the teaching building, Wang Hao was sitting peacefully in his office, studying the list of R&D funding support areas released by the National Science Foundation and the Provincial Science Foundation.
He is planning to apply for a fund project.
If the paper "Proving the regularity of the Monge-Ampere equation" can be successfully published in Acta Mathematica, with this top-ranking paper, there is no doubt that we can apply for a National Science Foundation project.
Just like Zheng Yaojun's partial differential equations project, he applied for it based on two core journal papers.
In addition, if you give a report on "Large Number Multiplication Algorithm" in STACS, you can also apply for a mathematical computer-related fund project based on this.
For fund projects, if you can apply, apply.
The duration of a general fund project is three to five years. It is easy to complete a study over such a long period of time.
What's more important is that the project is supported by funds, and some expenses can be reimbursed directly.
For example, attend an academic conference.
For example, purchase and order academic journals.
etc.
When Zhang Zhiqiang walked in, he glanced at Wang Hao's computer screen and said with interest, "Wang Hao, are you going to apply for a project?"
"Research it."
Wang Hao nodded in response.
Zhang Zhiqiang gave experienced guidance, "Generally, you can apply for two fund projects, one for youth and one for general."
"It's just a general topic, a general project. I think if your partial differential equations research is applied for a provincial-level topic, you should consider it as a youth project. If it is provincial-level, the funding will be relatively low."
After hearing this, Zhu Ping suddenly said, "What about the project? I'm worried that I won't be able to apply for it. I have done a fund project for several years, and I also found two professors to recommend it."
"Are there any results?" Wang Hao asked with interest. He always thought that Zhu Ping did not do research.
"Of course."
Zhu Ping said, "I published two papers, but then I stopped after they expired." She said depressedly, "Then I couldn't apply anymore."
"You don't have enough education and level." Luo Dayong directly pointed out the key point.
Zhu Ping glared at him and yelled angrily, "You are the only one with enough education! You have enough qualifications! Don't look down on others, I've been studying too, okay!"
Luo Dayong asked weakly, "Do you want to study for a Ph.D.?"
"Of course."
Zhu Ping flipped her hair and said, "I have been studying and want to get a doctorate in information science, otherwise I will do it in the future!"
"Alas~~"
She sighed, "Maybe one day I will be laid off."
Zhu Ping only has a graduate degree, which is indeed a bit worse. She is not even qualified to apply for fund projects. Generally, fund projects require applicants to either have a doctoral degree or have a senior professional and technical position. If they do not possess both, they need
Recommended by two senior professional and technical personnel in the same field.
The requirements for the Youth Fund project are the same, the only difference is that the latter one is removed, even if someone recommends it.
Therefore, Zhu Ping could not apply for fund projects at all.
"If I get a Ph.D., I will apply for a youth fund project after graduation and try out what it feels like to do a youth fund project." Zhu Pingchang said thinking about it.
Luo Dayong immediately said, "Have you graduated with a Ph.D.? You are probably overage, right?"
"..."
"..."
There was sudden silence in the office, followed by loud laughter.
Zhu Ping angrily picked up the stool, carried it with one hand and walked straight to Luo Dayong, "Luo! Da! Yong! I have to teach you a lesson today!"
"Squeak~~~"
The office door was pushed open.
Zhou Qingyuan stood at the door, his expression obviously a little surprised. He looked at Zhu Ping holding the stool and asked blankly, "Is this... an event?"
Zhu Ping put down her stool in embarrassment.
Wang Hao stood up and took cover, changed the subject and asked, "Professor Zhou, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, yes! Come out for a moment, if something happens."
When Wang Hao went out, he realized that not only Zhou Qingyuan was here, but also an old professor he didn't recognize.
"Academician Chen Qinghua, Dean of the School of Computer Science." Zhou Qingyuan gave a brief introduction.
When Chen Qinghua saw Wang Hao's face full of enthusiasm, he took the initiative to extend his hand. After shaking hands, he grabbed his hand and patted his shoulder and said, "You are Wang Hao. You are so young. As expected, heroes come from youth, and geniuses are geniuses."
!”
Zhou Qingyuan's face darkened, he pulled Wang Hao's sleeve and said, "Let's talk while walking."
Chen Qinghua was following up. After thinking about it, he looked around the door of the office and saw Zhu Ping lifting the stool with one hand. He asked in surprise, "Zhu Ping, are you...?"
Zhu Ping immediately froze on the spot and put down her stool again, "Dean Chen, why are you here? I just want to practice my strength. You know, women must learn to protect themselves..."
"……I have no idea."
Chen Qinghua muttered, and did not care about Zhu Ping's affairs. Instead, he called Zhang Zhiqiang, "Zhiqiang, come out for a moment."
"Is something wrong? Dean Chen?"
"Let's follow together." Chen Qinghua said as he walked, "What's going on now is very important. You and Wang Hao are in the same office, so we are familiar with each other, right? We have to convince Wang Hao to come to the computer laboratory, do you understand?"
