Inaugurated on December 17, 2017, the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics at Zhejiang University aims to provide a tranquil and stimulating environment in which mathematicians from all corners of the world can get together to work, think, and exchange ideas. The Institute has a substantial annual budget provided by Zhejiang University, supplemented by donations and government grants. Surrounded by a lovely forest garden, the institute’s newly-renovated interim building has a usable...

ABOUT BIRS

The Banff International Research Station (BIRS) addresses the imperatives of collaborative and cross-disciplinary research with a focus on the mathematical sciences and their vast array of applications in the sciences and in industry. Its modus operandi facilitates intense and prolonged interactions between scientists in a secluded environment, complete with accommo dation and board, and the necessary facilities, for uninterrupted research activities in a variety of formats, all in a magnificent mountain setting. BIRS embraces all aspects of the mathematical, computational and statistical sciences from the most fundamental challenges of pure and applied mathematics, theoretical and applied computer science, statistics, and mathe matical physics, to financial and industrial mathematics, as well as the mathematics of information technology, and the life sciences.Inaugurated in 2003, BIRS is a joint Canada-US-Mexico initiative that came about as the result of a remarkably concerted effort led, at the outset of the new millennium, by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS, Canada) and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI, Berkeley, USA), along with the support of the Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems Network of Centres of Excellence (MITACS, Canada). IASM became the second BIRS Partnership Institutions in 2019. There will be 10 IASM-BIRS workshops in Hangzhou every year.

Postdoctoral Positions

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/.
