The Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (http://tdli.sjtu.edu.cn) invites applications for several T. D. Lee prize postdoctoral fellowship positions in astrophysics. We are seeking candidates in all areas of astrophysics, including both theory and observations, with topics ranging from exoplanets, high-energy/gravitational wave astronomy, plasma astrophysics, to cosmology.

We welcome highly motivated applicants who have recently obtained a Ph.D. degree or expect one prior to starting the position. The initial appointment is for 3 years with possible renewal of additional years. We offer a competitive salary (minimum 312,000 RMB per year) and subsidized housing options through the co-sponsor Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). A fellow will have his/her own research fund for independent research. The nominal start date is September 2025, but can be flexible.

Applicants will automatically be considered for other postdoc positions supported by research grants, particularly in the areas that TDLI astrophysics faculty members are currently active (see https://tdli.sjtu.edu.cn/EN/science/middle/53?realm=ASTRONOMY_ASTROPHYSICS )

TDLI is a national research institute named after the renowned Chinese-American physicist Tsung-Dao Lee (Nobel Prize 1957). TDLI is devoted to fundamental research and graduate training in particle physics, astrophysics and condensed matter physics. The TDLI astrophysics division currently has 18 faculty members: 14 in astrophysics and 4 in plasma physics (including laboratory astrophysics). The division is expected to undergo significant expansion in the coming years. TDLI/SJTU is building 4-meter spectroscopic telescope, to be completed in 2026, for time-domain science, cosmology and exoplanets. Faculty at TDLI has ample computational resources.

TDLI has an internationalized environment with English as its working language. TDLI has an active visitor’s program, and organizes topical workshops and conferences each year to create a scientifically stimulating environment. The TDLI astrophysics division works closely with the astronomy department at SJTU (http://astro.sjtu.edu.cn/en/), and also enjoys a unique interdisciplinary research environment of TDLI.
