Shanghai Jiao Tong University China Institute for Urban Governance Is Looking for Talents at Home and Abroad

In response to the needs of the development of the times, the China Institute for Urban Governance, in response to the call for national construction, was co-built by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government Development Research Center with the support of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government. It aims to build a new type of think tank with internationally renowned and Chinese characteristics, a gathering place for outstanding talents and a high-end international exchange and cooperation platform.

Time flies, three years have passed. The Institute has not forgotten its initial thoughts, and has continuously explored and optimized the construction ideas of “decision-making influence, academic influence, international and domestic influence, talent attraction and institutional mechanism influence”, and played a leading role in the field of urban governance research.

The China Institute for Urban Governance has been striving to shape the organizational culture of “equal respect and mutual achievement”, particularly willing to create opportunities and resources for the growth of young talents so that independent and mature researchers can learn from each other and grow together in an inclusive and fair atmosphere. The Institute's good platform and material treatment will provide a reliable guarantee for the career of scholars. The institute now has its own independent reference channel “Jue Ce Can Kao”; the self-built data support platform “K. Wah Big Data Center” has a variety of data samples related to urban governance; the self-built case center has the best practice cases of the first-hand Yangtze River Delta urban governance.

The Institute, in order to carry out organized research work, now facing overseas and different disciplines, invites scholars from a wide range of universities who can focus on urban governance research. Whether you are interested in a full-time researcher position or a post-doctor, we will be eager to hear from you.
