I Have A Research Support System - Chapter 426

Xu Qiu began to carefully review the materials, and the attachment details the requirements for the application for promotion of associate professor to professor.

The basic conditions include compliance with laws and regulations, rich teaching experience and scientific research theoretical knowledge, passing the annual assessment in the past three years, fully guiding a master’s degree student, and giving an annual undergraduate course…

There is also the most important threshold-having an associate professor title for more than five years, or having an associate professor’s first-level position for more than two years.

The titles of domestic colleges and universities are complicated, and the divisions are very detailed. In addition to various hats such as “Yangtze River”, “Jieqing” and “Qingqian”, there are also grades.

The positions of university teachers are usually divided into 13 levels, with professors and associate professors occupying the top 7 levels.

Among them, level one to level four are professors.

First-level professors are the highest level among professors. Professors who are rated as first-level professors are generally academic figures, that is, academician level.

According to regulations, first-level professors basically only academicians can meet the relevant evaluation standards, so there are more subjects related to natural sciences, and fewer first-level professors in social sciences and humanities.

Because there are no academicians of liberal arts in China, there are only academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering. The academicians of the Academy of Sciences focus on theory, and the academicians of the Academy of Engineering focus on practice.

The second-level professors are slightly inferior to the first-level professors in the title of professors. The professors who are rated as second-level professors are generally figures close to the master level in the academic world, that is, the main responsible persons of universities and research institutes.

According to regulations, second-level professors can basically only meet the relevant evaluation standards if they have made major contributions in related fields. Therefore, there are more natural science-related disciplines, and there are fewer second-level professors in social sciences and humanities.

There is no way, the literati are lighter than each other, and they all think that they are the most NB, so there are not many recognized bigwigs.

Top “Yangtze Rivers” like Xu Zhenghong are generally second-level professors.

The third-level professors are among the professors’ professional titles, which seems to be a more common professor level. The professors who are rated as third-level professors are generally full professors who have worked long hours in the academic field and have made some breakthroughs, that is, the deans of universities and the heads of subjects. , City backbones, young elites, researchers who have been engaged in research institutes for many years, etc.

Because there are not so many assessment requirements for third-level professors, there are relatively more third-level professors in social sciences and humanities.

Wei Xingsi is a third-level professor.

A fourth-level professor is the most common full professor.

Although ordinary, it is also a professor, and there is more than enough to compare. This is also the ultimate goal of most researchers.

The reality is very cruel. Most scientific researchers will never cross the threshold between Level 4 and Level 5.

Associate professors are from grade five to grade 7. Xu Qiu speculated that the “Associate Professor first-level position” in the review materials should refer to the fifth-level associate professor, which is the highest level among associate professors.

Xu Qiu looked at the applicant’s information, his name was Jin Dengping, male, 38 years old, master’s supervisor.

Jin Dengping stayed as an associate professor for five years and just met the application requirements. It is estimated that he was stuck in the application.

After the basic conditions reach the standard, the level of scientific research must be evaluated.

The scientific research level test score is divided into two parts, one part is “undertaking scientific research project evaluation” and the other part is “academic achievement evaluation”.

In the “undertaking scientific research project evaluation”, applicants are required to have presided over 1 national scientific research project including a major national special project, a national science and technology support project project, a 973 project, a 863 project, or a natural science fund project in the past five years the above.

If there is no national-level project, other projects are also possible, but the actual funding required to reach the school exceeds 1 million.

Jin Dengping got the Natural Science Foundation project, which is commonly known as the general project, which he applied for the year before.

This requirement is neither high nor low, nor low.

When applying for general projects, the rule is that if the application has not been completed for two consecutive years, it must be stopped for one year, which means that there are almost four application opportunities in five years.

But even if this thing is written by an ordinary four-level professor, it will burn incense and worship Buddha with a 50% success rate, and the success rate of associate professors will only be lower.

In addition, ordinary general projects do not need to go to the meeting to respond, so it will test the applicant’s ability to write books and contacts.

“Academic Achievement Evaluation” requires the applicant’s academic achievements within five years of employment to meet one of the six conditions:

The first type is to publish an SCI or EI article (abbreviated article; or article) as the author or corresponding author, and obtain 2 national invention patents (abbreviated as domestic invention patents) authorized for more than three years and still in the state of authorized protection; or Article, 1 domestic invention patent.

If you don’t consider the patent situation, Xu Qiu thinks that this is simply a sub-topic. The four articles are not limited to partitions, which means that you can irrigate to the four SCI areas.

This condition is placed in the Magic University, which is not as good as the requirement for doctoral graduates.

The requirement for doctoral students to graduate here is two SCI second areas. In theory, publishing two SCI second areas is still more difficult than publishing four SCI.

The key point here is that associate professors are looking at the results of five years, while doctoral students only look at the results of three years.

The second type, the first author or corresponding author, publishes 2 articles in the first-class academic journals of the subject (SCI area 1 or 2 journals); or 1 first-class article plus 2 domestic invention patents.

This is almost exactly the same as the graduation conditions for doctoral students, and it is also for sub-questions.

The third type, one author or corresponding author, published two articles and published more than one high-level academic monograph as the first author.

The work of compiling academic monographs is quite hard.

Previously, the Department of Materials had invited Wei Xingsi to write a textbook on semiconductors, but he finally rejected it.

Later, Wu Feifei said: “It is good to refuse. If you don’t refuse, the work will be assigned to us at the end. It is conservatively estimated that it will take more than a month.”

The fourth is the first prize (top five) and the second prize (top four) of the National Natural Science Award…

The fifth category, won the special prize (top five), first prize (top four) of the national teaching achievement award…

The sixth type, as the first completer, obtain 1 international invention patent with significant economic benefits, or 3 domestic invention patents; or as the first completer obtain significant economic benefits with a single transfer fee of 300,000 yuan to the school National invention patents.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth situations that follow have little to do with most associate professors, and should be specifically set for those fields that have practical application value.

Taking these conditions together, five-year associate professors are the entry barrier, and presiding over national fund projects is a preliminary screening, and the requirements for academic achievements have been much looser.

However, Xu Qiu guessed that if an associate professor really came to evaluate professors with four SCI articles in four areas in five years, and there are no other special features, basically there is no need for evaluation.

In order to verify his ideas, Xu Qiu looked at Jin Dengping’s academic achievements and masterpieces.

There are three representative works of Jin Dengping, all of which are printed on the first page of the thesis and put together with the application materials.

Of the three articles, Jin Dengping is all corresponding authors, two of which are ACSAMI and one is JMCA.

In the column of academic achievements, Jin Dengping specifically noted that both ACSAMI and JMCA are articles in the same area, and marked the impact factor, one is more than 8 points and the other is more than 9 points.

There are also eleven articles with impact factors ranging from 1 to 5, all of which are in SCI districts 2, 3, and 4. Jin Dengping is also the corresponding author.

In total, Jin Dengping’s research group has published 14 articles in five years. Although the grade of the journal is a little worse, the workload is still considerable.

After checking the academic achievements, Xu Qiu had a good idea, and he continued to check other aspects.

In terms of teaching, Jin Dengping teaches one course for undergraduates and one course for graduate students every year.

He also specifically listed the results of the students’ evaluation of his teaching, which is 98 points (percentile system).

Speaking of teaching evaluation, Mordu University also has teaching evaluation.

Moreover, it is mandatory before the scores are awarded, and students cannot check the scores without evaluation.

Maybe it’s because I’m afraid that the examinee will see his F and give the teacher backhand a bunch of points (five points system).

The teaching evaluation of Mordu University is relatively detailed. There are more than a dozen metrics, including whether the teacher arrives on time for every class, whether the course is easy to understand, and whether it is only PPT in the classroom.

However, most students will not give low scores, resulting in almost all teachers getting close to 5 points.

After all, although the Office of Academic Affairs said that the teacher could not find out the specific points the student gave him, who knows.

This is also a domestic tradition and people tend to give high marks.

For example, takeaway scores and public reviews scores. If a merchant’s score is lower than 4, there is a high probability that the store is really problematic, and a small probability is that a lot of bad reviews have been maliciously brushed by peers.

Student training situation, Jin Dengping instructed a total of six undergraduates to make graduation projects and trained four master’s students, two of which have graduated and graduated on time, and the other two are studying for a master’s degree.

Xu Qiu estimates that this group is more PUSH.

An associate professor with two or three master students can publish three articles per year on average, and they are all corresponding authors, not one of them. This is very telling.

Most master students, like Sun Wo, can’t hold back the article for a long time.

In fact, it is already very good for normal master students to produce one or two SCI articles in three years.

Each of Jin Dengping’s master students published an average of three or four articles, so there is only one truth, and his students should have been drained.

In addition, Jin Dengping also worked as a counselor for undergraduates in the Department of Chemistry for four years, which is also a bonus item.

After reading them all, Xu Qiu felt that Jin Dengping still had something to do, and he did a good job in all aspects, so he decided to give a positive opinion.

After all, Xu Qiu has no interest in the other party, and there is no need to hinder others’ promotion.

Moreover, Xu Qiu judged that Jin Dengping is likely to be a grassroots, otherwise based on his achievements, if there is a way, it is likely to be promoted in advance.

It doesn’t have to be an exceptional promotion. He can be promoted to a fifth-level associate professor as early as possible, so he doesn’t need to work for five years, only two years.

However, having said that, this path is indeed for ordinary people.

A real boss would never wait five years from the associate professor to rise slowly.

The normal way is to do a post-doc or a visiting scholar abroad for a few years, and then directly introduce talents back to China, and then you will be a professor with a hat.

For example, Wei Xingsi, regardless of his current appearance, may feel that he is a little watery, but before Xu Qiu came, Wei Xingsi’s group had published top journals like EES, and the lowest grade of articles in the group was ACSAMI.

In fact, Wei Xingsi is already a strong group. He looked weak, just because Xu Qiu was there to set off.

The gap between people in the academic circle is still very large.

Just like the ordinary green peppers that have been staying in China, especially the older associate professors and lecturers at this stage, the potential for scientific research is mostly limited, and very few can accumulate and start flying.

Because the time has been pushed forward to around 2000, when competition in the domestic academic circle was very small, if they were not rated as professors at that time, their scientific research capabilities would be relatively limited.

In other words, the scientific research level of many young associate professors is higher than that of some old professors, and the scientific research level of many young lecturers is also higher than that of some old associate professors.

Only the level of scientific research is emphasized here, but not necessarily in other areas.

Xu Qiu has observed the situation of the Department of Materials Science and Technology at Magic University. There are several elderly associate professors, including his counselor, Associate Professor Yu Qiang, an associate professor who holds the department head’s thigh as a small boss, and another who mainly teaches. , And an associate professor who teaches experimental courses.

Their annual scientific research output is very small, almost zero.

Moreover, when Xu Qiu entered the Department of Materials Science, they were associate professors. Now four years have passed, and they are all associate professors. None of them can be promoted. It is estimated that the associate professor who is attached to the department head may have some opportunities.

In addition, Xu Qiu also observed the four major academicians of the Department of Chemistry next door. Three of them announced their academic resumes. Two of these three ran after graduating from their doctoral degree or after having been teaching in China~www.mtlnovel.com~ After going abroad to do post-doc or visit exchanges for more than four years.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the current academicians have just started to hold faculty positions in 1990-2000.

At that time, the domestic scientific research strength was relatively weak, not enough for them to break through themselves. It was similar to the lack of spiritual energy, and the practice was not fast enough to break through the bottleneck, so they went out to find opportunities to break through.

Some researchers who have made breakthroughs chose to return to China, and then developed along the way to become a generation leader.

The current domestic situation is very different from 20 years ago.

Because there are groups of people who have gone abroad to learn from their experience and returned to the country for construction, the domestic scientific research circle has absorbed a lot of foreign experience and has gradually become stronger.

Although we still have a certain gap with the top scientific research powers, the gap is narrowing.

However, all gifts come at a price.

We have become stronger, but we have also changed.
