Chapter 867: Keeping People (Year of the Monkey)

"Professor Cai, Yang Rui is indeed talented, there is no doubt about this, but the university should also have the stubbornness of the university, I think that now Yang Rui is promoted to teaching assistant or lecturer, which is not only not conducive to the teaching and management of the school, but also to the growth of Yang Rui. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info"Lu Yueping is a senior professor in the Department of Biology and doesn't care about opposing Professor Cai.

"It's true that there are too many problems when a sophomore who has not graduated from college is promoted to the position of teaching assistant or lecturer in one go. In two years, Yang Rui did get great results, but two years is too short, it is better to wait for another two years, and it is not good to 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.

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

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

Letting Yang Rui teach at Peking University was not the best choice for Professor Cai, this was a helpless way to be forced out by Tsinghua University. Professor Cai is really worried that after Yang Rui graduates, he will go to Tsinghua University to teach. There are really a lot of such things in the history of Peking University, for example, Zhu Ziqing is a student of Peking University, and he went to Tsinghua University after graduation.

Under normal circumstances, Professor Cai doesn't care whether the two schools communicate with each other, anyway, the relationship between Tsinghua University and Peking University has always been close, and it is normal for you to come and go.

But it would be a great sin for a young man who was nominated for the Nobel Prize at the age of 20 and published a paper on both cell and nature.

In short, if you want to get a Nobel Prize nomination, even if it is a Nobel Prize nomination in the natural sciences, you must first be well-known in the industry, either your name is known to many people, or your work has made many people understand, all in all, you have to be a celebrity in the scientific community, so that someone or institution can guarantee you a nomination with their own prestige.

Yang Rui's nomination is even more rare, it is now the end of 84 years, PCR technology is unstoppable, breaking through the national category, and began to spread in major laboratories around the world, such a thing, is not just the concept of brushing face, it is really possible to win the Nobel Prize, every biological laboratory has to use something, if you are not even qualified to compete for the Nobel Prize, this award will not survive for so long. Of course, this year may be a little early, and the 20-year-old Yang Rui is also a little younger, but in another five years, ten years, or twenty years, will Yang Rui be able to win the Nobel Prize?

Such an achievement made Professor Cai unwilling to bear the possibility of losing Yang Rui at all.

The position of teaching assistant or lecturer given to Yang Rui can only be said to be cheap insurance from the perspective of the dean.

Professor Cai is not at all worried about being said to be "rash", and in a few years, people will only comment on him for his "courage".

However, the opinions of colleagues should also be taken seriously, and the so-called ********** is to first be democratic and then centralized.

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

Professor Cai waited quietly for a quarter of an hour or so, and after everyone expressed their opinions, he asked: "I don't want to force Yang Rui to be a teaching assistant or lecturer, the question now is that the conditions given by Tsinghua University are better, and Yang Rui wrote a book on "Genomics" during his teaching at Tsinghua University, which is very well written, have you read it?"

A few people nodded.

"I have a few copies here, so you can take a look at them later. Professor Cai asked people to take out the mimeographed version of the book, and said, "I didn't expect Yang Rui to write a book, and it was during his lecture at Tsinghua University." With such an experience, I think Yang Rui must have hoped to continue teaching and writing books, and I believe that everyone has the same or similar experience. ”

Some professors nodded slightly, bowing their heads without the same or similar experience, and the scientific research institutes in the 80s did not make it mandatory for professors to have monographs, so a small number of people did not have this kind of experience, but this is not a good thing, just like a graduate student who has not written a thesis, when you have a meeting, everyone talks about your experience, how embarrassed to look up.

Monographs are not necessarily more difficult than papers, but they are different things, in a narrow sense, monographs are the author's combing of their own research work, what has been written is what has been written, what has not been written is not written, what has been written is despised what has not been written, there is no reason to talk about it.

You are famous for one of your papers at home and abroad, you are very good, you are all over the world, you are a member of the Standing Committee, you are very good, you are very good at being a member of the Standing Committee, you are very good at being a member of the Standing Committee, you are very good at being a member of the Standing Committee of the Standing Committee, you are very good at being a member of the Standing Committee of the Standing Committee, you are very good.

Zhou Fan, a relatively young professor, saw a thick mimeographed book, and his face turned pale.

He came back from studying abroad, and although he was young, he was still easily rated as a professor, but the disadvantage of being young was that he had less time to do work, and such a big project as a monograph had not been included in his scope of consideration, so naturally there was none.

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

Yang Rui is much younger than him.

After silently turning over more than a dozen pages of "Genomics", Zhou Fan really wanted to give himself a big mouth: they were all bad habits learned from abroad, and there was no one to speak...... I shouldn't have an opinion!

"I have no objection to letting Yang Rui continue to maintain his status as a student, but what are your ideas to prevent Yang Rui from being poached by Tsinghua University?" Professor Cai spoke again, leaving the opponents speechless.

"How about we raise the salary? Let Yang Rui wait a little, and in two years, he will stay on to teach, and he will be treated as a graduate student. Lu Yueping put forward a relatively reasonable suggestion.

However, it is relatively reasonable, and no one should talk to Lu Yueping.

"Yang Rui's current achievements, and the exceptional promotion to associate professor, should be possible. Liu Lan said a fair word, but still no one responded.

Everyone here felt inexplicably embarrassed.

In fact, it is easy to understand the evaluation of professional titles in China: undergraduate graduates entering universities will be evaluated as teaching assistants after one year of internship and lecturers after three years; master's graduates can be evaluated as lecturers after one year of internship and associate professors after five years. Doctoral graduates who enter the university will be evaluated as associate professors after one year of internship, and professors can be evaluated after five or seven years.

It is very simple to see that the waiting period between teaching assistant and associate professor is basically the time required for graduate school or doctoral study, because it can be evaluated or not necessarily evaluated, and such a system makes the value of further study slightly higher.

If Yang Rui had entered the university after graduating from the bachelor's degree, he would have been evaluated as a teaching assistant, but if he was promoted to a lecturer, it would be an exception, Liu Lan said that he was an associate professor, and that was the treatment of a doctoral student.

In China, this is usually rare except for the mathematics department, but it is not uncommon, especially scholars who have written a large number of papers, and it is easy to get exceptionally promoted.

However, is an associate professor of Peking University an exceptional for Yang Rui?

This is a very embarrassing thing, after all, he himself is already the director of the ion channel laboratory of Peking University, and there is an associate professor like Xu Zhengping under him, and it seems that it is unpleasant not to give him the title of an associate professor.

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

"Call Xu Zhengping to ask, he knows more about Yang Rui. Wang Yong thought of an idea.

"It's a good idea. A few people who couldn't think of a way immediately agreed.

Not long after, Xu Zhengping was called to the smoky conference room.

Dean Liu picked up the main part and explained it to him, and asked: "Lao Xu, you are the one who graduated from Peking University and stayed in school, we want to keep Yang Rui, do you see what the way to do it." ”

"Suddenly let me say that I haven't thought about it either. Xu Zhengping said helplessly, because of everyone's expectant gaze, he said with something to pick up: "I know that Yang Rui's "Genomics" is being published, and Norton Publishing House in the United States will probably give him an English version and sell it in the United States first. ”

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

Xu Zhengping nodded: "Norton Publishing House should attach great importance to it, and has already sent someone to talk about cooperation in the cafeteria at noon today." ”

"Our canteen at Peking University?" Dean Liu was like a tractor that had been started, his whole body was trembling, 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 said, "It's about one o'clock at noon." ”

"I'll go check it out in an hour. Dean Liu immediately got up and recommended himself.

"Let's go. Professor Cai saw that a room full of people was about to move, and simply announced the adjournment of the meeting.
