Founded in 1897, Zhejiang University is a prestigious institution of higher education with a long history and was one of the earliest modern academies of higher education established in China. In its over 120-year history, Zhejiang University has always been committed to cultivating talents with excellence, advancing science and technology, serving for social development and promoting culture, with the sprit best manifested by the university motto “Seeking the Truth and Pioneering New Trails”.
Research at Zhejiang University spans 12 academic disciplines, covering philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, art, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, management and etc. Of all the research disciplines covered by ESI, Zhejiang University has 18 disciplines listed among global top 1%, of which 8 are in the world's top 1‰(ESI data, March 2018) . The University is 87th in the QS world university rankings in 2018.
Zhejiang University is the first batch of universities nationwide to set up postdoctoral research stations. As one of the national pilot units for postdoctoral administration reform, Zhejiang University now owns 57 postdoctoral research stations. To achieve leapfrog development in scientific research and overall planning of talent, Zhejiang University warmly welcomes excellent young doctors from all over the world to join our postdoctoral research team.
