Postdoctoral positions. The Department of Astronomy at Westlake University is accepting applications for postdoctoral positions. The Shenkuo Astronomy Fellowship (SAFE) offers one fellow complete freedom to pursue independent research, with a salary comparable to top US astronomy fellowships and an annual research budget of 150,000 RMB. My group is recruiting up to two postdocs for extragalactic research with JWST, ALMA and potentially Roman; up to half of their time may be devoted to independent research. A single application covers both, with a deadline of December 31, 2026. See the AAS job advertisement and the department website.

Students. We welcome prospective or short-term visiting students interested in our research. For PhD admission, see the Westlake PhD Program; please feel free to contact me at sunfengwu在westlake.edu.cn before you apply.
