The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, in conjunction with the National Post-Doctoral Regulatory Commission, has recently released the latest roster of new Postdoctoral Mobile Stations. The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen), for the first time, has received approval to establish three stations in the cutting-edge fields of Computer Science and Technology, Material Science and Engineering, and Applied Economics, respectively. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the University's commitment to fostering advanced research and academic excellence.

In the realm of academia, postdoctoral research stands as a pivotal continuation of scholarly pursuits following the completion of a doctoral degree. It serves as a linchpin in both advancing scientific exploration and fostering the growth of promising young researchers. A key instrument in this academic landscape is the Postdoctoral Mobile Station, a crucial platform underpinning the research endeavours of postdoctoral scholars. Capitalizing on our international standing and high-calibre academic ethos, CUHK-Shenzhen has, since May 2016, successfully established both provincial and municipal postdoctoral innovation practice bases, bolstered by the steadfast support of human resources authorities in Shenzhen and Guangdong. In early 2017, in a collaborative effort with preeminent institutions such as the University of Science and Technology of China and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, the University initiated a joint postdoctoral recruitment programme, successfully attracting over 300 researchers to date.

The 2023 national guidelines for station applications, for the first time, included China-foreign cooperative educational institutions, a significant opportunity that CUHK-Shenzhen meticulously prepared for and successfully leveraged. Achieving this within nine years of establishment is a testament to our research efforts. Moving forward, the University will seize this opportunity to further enhance the construction of these stations, leverage our international educational advantages, actively recruit outstanding postdoctoral researchers from both domestic and international pools, and thereby contribute to the development of a high-level talent team and the flourishing of our research endeavours.
