Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

"Professor Cai, Yang Rui is indeed talented. There is no doubt about it, but universities should also have the stubbornness of universities. I think that promoting Yang Rui to a teaching assistant or lecturer is not only not conducive to the teaching and management of the school, but also to Yang Rui's growth. It's not good." Lu Yueping is a senior professor in the Department of Biology, and she doesn't care about opposing Professor Cai.

"It is true that there will be too many problems when a student who has not yet graduated from the sophomore year is promoted to the position of teaching assistant or lecturer. In two years, Yang Rui has indeed achieved great results, but two years is too short. , why not wait another two years and give Yang Rui a place to stay in school in advance?" Liu Lan, who is also a senior professor, is also a relatively conservative faction.

Zhou Fan, a relatively young professor, also took the opportunity to object: "I also think it's a little rash. We don't need teachers very urgently now. Bringing up Yang Rui all of a sudden will inevitably cause various problems. For example, Yang Rui's research level Very good, but the level of teaching is not very clear. I think it is better to observe for a while.

Professor Cai remained silent and let everyone in the conference room speak freely.

It was not the best choice for Professor Cai to let Yang Rui teach at Peking University. This was forced out by Tsinghua University. Professor Cai was really worried that Yang Rui would go to Tsinghua University to teach after graduation. There are really many such things in the history of Peking University. For example, Zhu Ziqing was a student of Peking University and went to Tsinghua University after graduation. Regardless of the reasons for the period, such things are always indispensable.

Under normal circumstances, Professor Cai does not care whether the two schools communicate with each other. Anyway, the relationship between Tsinghua and Peking University has always been close, and it is normal for you to come and go. It doesn't matter if you call a ton.

But the young man who was nominated for the Nobel Prize at the age of 20 and published double papers on cell and nature ran away, and that would be a great crime.

Even a formal Nobel Prize nomination is a big deal. In short, if you want to be nominated for a Nobel Prize, even if it is a formal Nobel Prize nomination for natural sciences, you must first be well-known in the industry, or your name will be wiped out. Many people know about it, or your work has made many people know about it. All in all, you have to be a celebrity in the scientific community, so that someone or an institution can use their own reputation to guarantee you a nomination.

-style_txt; Yang Rui's nomination is even rarer. Now it is the end of 1984. Technology has broken through the national scope with an unstoppable attitude, and has begun to spread in major laboratories around the world. Such things are no longer just for facial recognition It is really possible to win the Nobel Prize. If it is not even eligible to compete for the Nobel Prize, the thing that every biological laboratory must use, this award will not survive for so long. Of course, this year may be a little too early, and Yang Rui, who is 20 years old, is also a little younger, but in another five, ten, or twenty years, will Yang Rui win the Nobel Prize? It's really possible.

With such achievements, Professor Cai is not willing to bear the slightest possibility of losing Yang Rui.

Giving Yang Rui the position of teaching assistant or lecturer, from the dean's point of view, can only be said to be cheap insurance.

Professor Cai is not at all worried that others will say that he is "reckless". In a few years, people will only judge him as "courageous".

However, the opinions of colleagues must also be taken seriously. The so-called means to be democratic first and then centralized.

Moreover, the time of democracy can be relatively long, and the time of concentration can be very short. In terms of proportion, it is obvious that democracy is more important.

Professor Cai waited quietly for about a quarter of an hour. After everyone expressed their opinions, he asked, "I don't want to force Yang Rui to be a teaching assistant or lecturer. The problem now is that Tsinghua offers better conditions. Moreover, during Yang Rui's teaching at Tsinghua, I wrote a book "Genomics", which is very well written, have you read it?"

Several people nodded.

"I have a few copies here, you can take a look at it later." Professor Cai asked someone to take out the mimeographed version of the book, and said, "I didn't expect Yang Rui to write a book, and it was when he was teaching Tsinghua University. Period. Having such an experience, I think Yang Rui definitely hopes to continue teaching and writing books. I believe that everyone has the same or similar experience.”

Some professors nodded slightly, and bowed their heads without saying a word. In the 1980s, scientific research institutes did not mandate that professors must have monographs. Therefore, a small number of people did not have this kind of experience. However, this is not a good thing. It's as if students who are graduate students and Ph.D. students have never written a thesis. During a meeting, everyone talks about their experiences. How dare you raise your head.

A monograph is not necessarily more difficult than a dissertation, but they are different things. In a narrow sense, a monograph is the author’s review of his own research work. If he has written it, he has written it. If he has not written it, he has not written it. Yes, there is no reason to speak.

One of your papers is famous at home and abroad, you are amazing; you have peaches and plums all over the world, and your disciples serve as members of the Standing Committee, you are amazing; your certificates are as high as you are, and you are famous in life, you are amazing-you haven’t written a monograph, haha, you are really good. scholar.

Zhou Fan, a relatively young professor, turned pale when he saw a thick mimeograph book.

He came back from studying abroad. Although he was young, he was easily rated as a professor. However, the disadvantage of being young is that he has less time to do work. Such a big project as a monograph has not been included in his consideration. No.

However, looking at the thick "Genomics" that looked like a textbook, Zhou Fan suddenly felt that he lacked confidence.

Yang Rui is much, much younger than him.

After silently flipping through more than a dozen pages of "Genomics", Zhou Fan really wanted to give himself a big mouth: It's all bad habits learned from abroad, and he has no way to speak! If you think of something to say, just pour it out... I shouldn't express my opinion!

"I have no objection to allowing Yang Rui to continue to be a student, but what do you guys have in mind to prevent Yang Rui from being poached by Tsinghua University?" Professor Cai spoke again, leaving the opponents speechless.

"How about we raise the salary? Tell Yang Rui to wait for a while. After another two years, he will stay in the school to teach. Just give him the salary of a graduate student." Lu Yueping put forward a relatively reasonable suggestion.

However, it was only relatively reasonable, and no one responded to Lu Yueping's words.

"With Yang Rui's current grades, it should be possible to promote an associate professor in an exceptional way." Liu Lan said a fair word, but still no one responded.

Everyone present felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Domestic job title evaluation is actually very easy to understand. Graduates with a bachelor’s degree enter a university, and after a one-year internship, they can be evaluated as a teaching assistant, and after three years they can be evaluated as a lecturer; graduates with a master’s degree enter a university, after a one-year internship, they can be evaluated as a lecturer, and after five years, they can be evaluated as an associate professor. . Doctoral graduates enter the university, and after a one-year internship period, they can be promoted to associate professors, and after five or seven years, they can be promoted to professors. Those who are less than this time limit will be promoted exceptionally.

It can be seen very simply that the waiting period from teaching assistant to associate professor is basically the time required for graduate school or Ph.D. because you can be evaluated but not necessarily able to be evaluated. Such a system slightly increases the value of further study Some.

If Yang Rui entered the university after graduating from a bachelor's degree, he should have been rated as a teaching assistant. If he was promoted to a lecturer, he would be considered an exception. Liu Lan said that if he was an associate professor, he would be treated as a doctoral student.

In China, except for the Department of Mathematics, this kind of situation usually rarely occurs, but it is not uncommon, especially for scholars who have written a large number of papers, it is easy to be promoted exceptionally.

However, for Yang Rui, an associate professor at Peking University, is it an exception?

This is a very embarrassing thing. After all, he himself is the director of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University, and he has an associate professor like Xu Zhengping under him. It seems that he is not given the title of associate professor.

"It's really difficult." Lu Yueping smiled self-deprecatingly, and put herself in Professor Cai's shoes to think about it. It is indeed difficult for him to be the dean.

"Call Xu Zhengping to ask, he knows a lot about Yang Rui." Wang Yong said thoughtfully.

"This is a good way." The few people who couldn't think of a way immediately agreed.

Not long after, Xu Zhengping was called into the smoky meeting room.

Dean Liu picked up the main part and explained it to him, and asked: "Old Xu, you are the one who stayed after our Peking University graduation. We want to keep Yang Rui. What can you do?"

"Let me say it suddenly, and I haven't thought about it." Xu Zhengping said helplessly. Due to the expectant eyes of everyone, he picked something up and said: "I know that Yang Rui's "Genomics" is being discussed for publication. The publishing house will probably publish an English version for him and sell it in the United States first."

"Yang Rui's "Genomics" is going to be sold in the United States?" Liu Lan was taken aback, the tone was so high.

Xu Zhengping nodded: "Norton Publishing House should take it very seriously. They have already sent someone here to discuss cooperation in the cafeteria at noon today."

"Our cafeteria at Peking University?" Dean Liu was shaking like a tractor being started. It is not easy to publish a book in China, but it is even more difficult for domestic scholars to publish a book abroad. In fact, It is even more difficult.

Xu Zhengping said "Yes", and then said: "The appointment is at one noon."

"There's still an hour, I'll go and have a look." Dean Liu got up immediately and recommended himself.

"Let's go together." Professor Cai saw that the whole room was about to move, so he simply announced the end of the meeting.
