Chapter 356 Research Team Interview Conference
Although Liu Ruochuan is occasionally out of tune, when it comes to structure and mentality, he is the most high-level and well-organized person Xu Qingshan has ever seen.
Even people like Chen Dayue, who is often praised as having a top-notch mentality in the academy, sometimes don't necessarily think he is as good as Liu Ruochuan.
Although he didn't seem to have a strong sense of presence before, he was actually one of the first members of the golden generation who made an agreement with the school to return to China to teach after studying the most cutting-edge knowledge in the field he loved.
As for mentality, Liu Ruochuan is even more of a hidden master.
Xu Qingshan heard from Tian Gang that Liu Ruochuan had never been truly angry. Even when he was studying alone, he was attacked because of his skin color, but Liu Ruochuan never took this pressure to heart. Instead, he always focused on his research happily.
"Qingshan, the candidates for the research team have almost been selected. What do you say? Find a time to meet with them and conduct several rounds of interviews. If you are busy, leave the first part to me. You can do it in the end. Just make the decision.”
Liu Ruochuan closed Xu Qingshan's mailbox and turned to talk to Xu Qingshan.
In fact, when he actively requested to come to Xu Qingshan's research team, he already had the mentality of coming to help Xu Qingshan take care of all aspects. To exaggerate, he had the mentality of coming to be Xu Qingshan's nanny.
Perhaps Qingshan's performance was much better than he imagined, which reassured him a lot.
"Brother, you have the final say. You can be the interviewer, and I can be the mascot."
Xu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Anyway, I don't care much about the student's research direction. As long as he can keep up with his learning ability and has more autonomy, I will support him no matter what he wants to do, and I believe he can achieve results."< br>
"You are also awesome, I believe it. If you say this to others, they will only think you are too crazy."
Liu Ruochuan reminded Xu Qingshan jokingly.
"Then I have to put on a little disguise in front of you, senior brother, and be more humble when you go out."
"Okay, then I'll make a date for next Tuesday. Don't forget to come then."
After the two chatted for a while, Liu Ruochuan went back to his office, which was actually next door.
Xu Qingshan looked at the students Liu Ruochuan picked out.
Liu Ruochuan was very good at selecting people. Xu Qingshan looked at it for a while and discovered that Liu Ruochuan's principles for selecting people were basically based on his needs and preferences for students.
Each and every one of them was chosen in his own heart.
It's just that at this time, after all, students have just seen their mailboxes. In the next few days, the frequency of students submitting resumes and cover letters will be much lower, basically only three or five a day, and the overall quality is not good. The first two days were brilliant.
Originally, when Xu Qingshan's mailbox exploded on the first day, he was still worried that it would be too difficult for him to choose students, resulting in insufficient places to accept students.
As a result, after being guided by Liu Ruochuan and sifted through it several times, he was dissatisfied.
Especially after you have decided on the students you want to accept, if you compare and contrast them, you will feel that the other students are far behind, and you really can't force yourself to accept those students.
Because if you are in a relatively involved and high-intensity research team, it will also be an extreme torture for those students who want to fish, have insufficient ability, and insufficient learning ability.
There are studies showing that.
Some doctoral students who have been engaged in high-intensity research experience a level of psychological stress and torture that is even greater than the death of their parents in a short period of time.
It sounds exaggerated, but it turns out that if you studied for a doctorate in 1956, 1978, and were in that depressed state for a long time, it's really hard to say which one is more painful.
Xu Qingshan does not intend to really arrange things that are too stressful and too heavy for students.
But the premise of this situation is that the students can keep up with Xu Qingshan's pace.
Not to mention that every qualification must be a peerless genius, but at least outsiders must be called a little genius. After all, Xu Qingshan is doing cutting-edge education and cutting-edge research, not universal education.
After getting Xu Qingshan's consent.
Liu Ruochuan applied for a conference room in the Talent Exchange Center to interview researchers and postdocs who applied to join his research team.
When the time is almost up.
Xu Qingshan carried his schoolbag and headed towards the conference room location given to him by Liu Ruochuan.
In fact, Xu Qingshan comes to the Talent Exchange Center quite often. Sometimes some small activities at Capital University are arranged here, such as entertaining some foreign academicians and holding some small high-end meetings within the department. Basically, Xu Qingshan comes here from time to time. I'll come over for a walk.
It's just like today, when the corridor is full of people, Xu Qingshan feels that this is the first time he has seen them.
"Researcher Xu."
Before Xu Qingshan had time to see clearly what these people were doing, he saw the group of people in the corridor standing up one after another, facing him, nodding and bowing. It looked like a group of people waiting for the teacher to teach. students.
However, the appearance and age of this group of people did not look like young people at all, and several of them had white hair.
What is going on.
Xu Qingshan didn't have time to respond to them, but looked down at his mobile phone. The address Liu Ruochuan sent him should not be here, but at the corner of the corridor in front of him. Then the person waiting here should not be joining his research team. Recruitment interviews.
Is it possible that there can be so many people coming for interviews?
"Qingshan, here you come? This way."
Hearing the movement here, Liu Ruochuan's big head popped out from the corner and waved to Xu Qingshan.
Are they really all here for interviews?
Xu Qingshan could only smile politely and greet these seniors who were much older than him, and some were even a round older than him.
When he walked past these scientific researchers lined up in the corridor, Xu Qingshan could clearly feel the heat in their eyes.
Although he didn't know what the ultimate goal of this blazing heat was.
"Researcher Xu."
Xu Qingshan was carrying a schoolbag. He was not wearing formal clothes today. He looked like a handsome, innocent man.
As a result, such a young man walked in the middle of a group of outstanding young scholars in their thirties, and was welcomed in the aisles. Xu Qingshan took every step very relaxedly, but no one in this group of young scholars dared to disturb him by speaking loudly. This leisure.
Enter the conference room.
Xu Qingshan put down his bag and looked at Liu Ruochuan strangely.
"Have we hired so many people?"
Liu Ruochuan shook his head.
"There were actually only eight candidates we selected. After I sent the news out, so many people came in the afternoon. I don't know how the news got out. However, these people who came didn't have any opinions, but took I queued up with my printed resume and paper to get an opportunity to show myself offline.”
Liu Ruochuan was also very helpless. In fact, he had rarely encountered this kind of situation in so many years.
Maybe when he was abroad, he often saw this kind of bold self-recommendation, but it definitely didn't happen on this large scale.
It's hard to say to what extent the outside world is obsessed with joining Xu Qingshan's research team.
"Then why don't we wait for the interview first? After the interview, let's hold a special session for the remaining people. Each person will have ten minutes to see who can respond quickly and show their own characteristics in a short period of time. If so, Just move on to the next round.”
Xu Qingshan thought for a while and finalized the plan.
"That's okay, but we probably have to stay here for a while longer in the afternoon." Liu Ruochuan took out the computer from his bag. This time, all members of his research team were mobilized.
Although there were only four people, everyone had a clear division of labor. Wang Wei had already sorted out the best results of the eight candidates, and Xue Xuequing was the errand boy for the conference room application.
It sounds interesting.
If teachers and students are divided into two generations, then Wang Wei's usual behavior is more like Xu Qingshan, and Xue Xuequing is more like Liu Ruochuan.
The respective bonds and compatibility between the two generations are quite suitable.
"Xiao Wang, are everything ready? What are you doing?"
Xu Qingshan asked Wang Wei standing in the corner of the conference room not knowing what he was doing.
"Everything is ready. This is a video recorder. I think I can record and save the interview process and keep a file. Maybe it can come in handy in the future."
After Wang Wei made sure that the video recorder could work normally while keeping the power on, he brought other things to Xu Qingshan and Liu Ruochuan.
"Where's Xiao Xue? Why didn't you see her?"
Xu Qingshan took the main interview seat and asked while sorting out the order of the materials in his hands.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
"She took my card to apply for a second conference room. We can't keep so many people waiting outside. We temporarily applied for a new, larger conference room and asked them to go in first and wait. It will be used by then. Come to the waiting place.”
This time it was Liu Ruochuan who helped answer the question.
"Same."
"Then let's start now?"
Liu Ruochuan also sat down and looked at Xu Qingshan.
"Well, let's get started."
"Wang Wei, go ask Li Guangzhi to come in."
Liu Ruochuan waved, and Wang Kai stood at the door and asked, then closed the door and sat back down where he was responsible for recording this time.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Wang Wei's calm voice penetrated the thick wooden door.
"Click."
The door handle was turned open, and a head that was already heading towards the Mediterranean poked in.
Although this old man was wearing a suit that didn't look very cheap, and his tie was neatly tied, even the three hairs on his forehead could be seen to have been carefully taken care of.
But Xu Qingshan frowned immediately.
He looked at Liu Ruochuan, and then at the 1-inch bareheaded blue background photo on the resume in his hand.
That look seemed to say, "Are you sure this is the same person?"
Li Guangzhi looked very reserved. His back was slightly hunched. When he walked in, he stretched his neck, looking like an ostrich taking a walk. The smile on his face was not very natural, stiff and dry.
"Director Xu, this little director, Director Liu, is good."
What a terrible opening.
Xu Qingshan watched Li Guangzhi carefully sit down in the interview position, and he was talking unnaturally here and there, as if something was crawling on him.
"Hello, Li Guangzhi?"
Liu Ruochuan replied politely, but still asked his question.
Let alone Xu Qingshan, even he felt that this person was not quite right.
The one-inch photo on this resume looks like he has long flowing hair, and he looks very energetic and capable. Although he is not very handsome, he can be regarded as a spirited young man.
The spirited guy here is not talking about the kind of yellow-haired will-o’-the-wisp that was later stigmatized.
He is the kind of young man with bright eyes and a hard and straight temperament.
But the contrast with the old man in front of him was too great.
"Hey, I am."
Li Guangzhi smiled and wanted to get up, but when he was halfway up, he remembered that this was an interview, so he propped up his knees and wanted to sit down. As a result, he met Xu Qingshan's confused eyes and stopped for a moment. He didn't know what he was doing. Should I sit down or stand? I'm stuck in an awkward position.
Xu Qingshan sighed secretly.
With this kind of thinking, it looks like a prefabricated human or a pseudo-human. Can such a human-machine really keep up with its own research?
This is not consistent with the resume and thesis results.
"Sit down and relax. We don't know how to eat people. Come on, let's briefly introduce ourselves."
Liu Ruochuan was more considerate, he said softly, giving this old man who looked a bit vicissitudes of life a step down.
"Eh, eh, okay."
Li Guangzhi sat down, holding the knees of his suit trousers with both hands. The suit trousers, which were originally pressed straight, were now wrinkled by his scratches. His voice was a little stumbling when he spoke, but he could still speak clearly.
"My name is Li Guangzhi. I graduated from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Science and Technology of China with a bachelor's degree. Later I went abroad to study mathematics at Cambridge. I graduated with a Ph.D. in 2006 and worked as a postdoc in Oxford for two years. Then I didn't have a guaranteed teaching position at Oxford, so I returned to China. I want to find a suitable teacher I worked for a teaching position in Aurora for a period of time the year before last, but I didn’t get used to it. I went back to China University of Science and Technology last year and tried it, but it didn’t work well. I just transferred to a teaching and research position this year. I thought we were in a scientific research position, so I wanted to come here. Try it.”
Xu Qingshan helplessly held his forehead.
Li Guangzhi said so much, but he did not mention the most important research direction.
It’s hard to imagine that this is a mathematics researcher who can go abroad to study at some of the world’s top universities and work as a postdoctoral fellow after passing the college entrance examination and entering the University of Science and Technology of China.
Xu Qingshan looked at Liu Ruochuan, his meaning was obvious.
Liu Ruochuan understood and picked up a paper.
"Okay, take a look at this paper on harmonic analysis and stacked number theory that you wrote in Cambridge in 2006 at about the same time as your doctoral thesis. Do you still have an impression? I want to see your work in this part. , what was the situation at that time, what made you consider this entry point and direction, and this part"
Liu Ruochuan took the paper and spoke quickly to Li Guangzhi.
Xu Qingshan squinted motionlessly to observe Li Guangzhi's performance.
I don't know what part suddenly stimulated Li Guangzhi. His original look, which was tortured by life, was replaced by another kind of enthusiasm in an instant. Listening to Liu Ruochuan's words, he nodded frequently.
