The College of the Environment and Ecology (CEE) at Xiamen University (XMU) was founded on March 2011, on the basis of the Institute of Environmental Sciences established in 1982, and former Department of Botany/Zoology established in 1922. It consists of three academic departments, Department of Ecology, Department of Environmental Science, and Department of Ecological Engineering for Environmental Sustainability. CEE offers Bachelor, Master and PhD degree programs in Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Management as well as Ecology. We also host post-doctoral programs. Since 2012, Environment Science and Ecology at XMU has been ranked the top 1% world-wide by Essential Science Indicators. In 2017, the Ecology discipline at Xiamen University was selected to be part of the "Double First-Class" plan by the central government with the aim of developing a group of world-class higher education institutions and disciplines. In addition, CEE, jointly with the College of Oceanography and Earth Sciences, hosts the State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science. CEE also hosts four ministry/provincial level research platforms and three interdisciplinary research platforms at the university level. CEE currently has 66 faculty members, including 31 professors, 30 associate professors and 5 assistant professors. Among them are Dual-appointed CAS Academicians, Cheung Kong Chair Professor, National Distinguished Young Scholars, awardees of Thousand Talent Plan and Minjiang Chair Professor. The College is recruiting about 20 faculty members in the next few years at all ranks, especially for Chinese talents plans (Thousand Talent Plan, Youth Cheung Kong Scholar Program, National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars, etc.), and postdoctoral scholars for young scientists. We have open faculty positions in the research fields of, but not limited to, global change ecology, ecosystem ecology, wetland ecology, landscape ecology, plant ecology, marine ecology, genetics and evolutionary ecology, molecular ecology and bioinformatics, environmental ecology, ecological planning, wetland ecological engineering, ecological restoration engineering, environmental biogeochemistry, environmental toxicology, aquatic environment technology and engineering, aquatic environment dynamics, environmental omics, environmental remote sensing and simulation, coastal zone environmental management, solid waste recycling, marine pollution control, air pollution control engineering, etc. The University will provide competitive salary and benefits, including settlement allowance, housing subsidy, research start-up funding, in accordance with candidate’s experience and responsibilities, and support the successful candidate to apply for research funding and talent programs of all levels. If one can not attend these meetings, applicants are invited to submit CV to ce...@xmu.edu.cn (Contact: Ms. Xinli Wang, Tel: +86-592-2186338).
