"Professor Cai, Yang Rui is really talented, there is no doubt about that, but universities should also have the stubbornness of universities. In my opinion, Promoting Yang Rui to teaching assistant or lecturer is not only bad for the teaching and management of the University, but also bad for the growth of Yang Rui." Lu Yueping, a senior professor in the Department of biology, does not care to oppose Professor Cai.

"It's true that there will be too many problems when the sophomore who has not yet graduated is mentioned to the position of assistant or lecturer. In two years, Yang Rui has really made great achievements, but two years is too short. Why don't you wait another two years and give Yang Rui a place to stay in school in advance? " Liu Lan, a senior professor, is also a conservative.

Zhou fan, a relatively young professor, also took the opportunity to oppose: "I also feel a little rash. We are not in urgent need of teachers now. If we bring up Yang Rui all of a sudden, there will be various problems. For example, Yang Rui's research level is very good, but the level of teaching is not very clear. I think it's better to observe for a period of time.

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

Let Yang Rui teach in Peking University, originally is not the best choice for Professor Cai, this is forced out by Tsinghua, there is no way. Professor Cai is really worried that Yang Rui will go to Tsinghua University to teach after graduation. There are a lot of such things in the history of Peking University. For example, Zhu Ziqing, a student of Peking University, went to Tsinghua University after graduation. Without mentioning the origin of the period, such things are always indispensable.

Under normal circumstances, Professor Cai doesn't care whether the two schools communicate with each other. Anyway, Tsinghua University and Peking University always have close relations. It's normal for you to come and go. From the psychology of a natural science professor, it doesn't matter whether Zhu Ziqing and Niu Ziqing run for a dozen or a ton.

But the young man who was nominated for the Nobel Prize at the age of 20 and published both cell and Nature papers ran away, which is a great crime.

In short, if you want to be nominated for a Nobel Prize, even if you want to be nominated for a natural science Nobel Prize, you have to be well-known in the industry first. Either your name will be known to many people, or your work will be known to many people, You have to be a famous person in the scientific field, so that someone or organization can guarantee you a nomination with their reputation.

Yang Rui's nomination is even more difficult. Now it is the end of 84, and PCR technology has broken through the national category with an irresistible posture, and began to spread in major laboratories all over the world. Such a thing is not just the concept of face brushing, it is really possible to win the Nobel Prize, and it is something that every biological laboratory needs to use, If you don't even have the qualification to compete for the Nobel Prize, the prize won't survive so long. Of course, this year may be a little early, and 20-year-old Yang Rui is also a little younger. But in five years, 10 years, or 20 years, will Yang Rui win the Nobel Prize? It's really possible.

Such achievements make Professor Cai unwilling to bear the possibility of losing Yang Rui at all.

From the point of view of the Dean, the position given to Yang Rui as a teaching assistant or lecturer can only be said to be cheap insurance.

Professor Cai is not worried at all that others call him "reckless". In a few years, people will only comment on his "boldness".

However, we should also pay attention to the opinions of our colleagues. The so-called "democracy first, then concentration".

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

Professor Cai quietly waited for about a quarter of an hour. After everyone expressed their opinions, he asked, "I don't want to force Yang Rui to be a teaching assistant or lecturer. Now the question is, Tsinghua offers better conditions. Moreover, Yang Rui wrote a Book of genomics during his teaching in Tsinghua, which is very good. Have you read it?"

A few nodded.

"I have a few copies here, you can have a look later." Professor Cai asked people to take out the mimeograph edition of the book and said, "I didn't expect Yang Rui to write a book, and it was during his teaching at Tsinghua University. Having such an experience, I think Yang Rui definitely hopes to continue teaching and writing books. I believe that everyone has the same or similar experience. "

Some professors nodded slightly without the same or similar experience. In the 1980s, scientific research institutions did not force professors to have monographs. Therefore, a few people did not have such experience. However, this is not a good thing. It's just like the graduate students who have never written papers. When we meet, we talk about our experiences, How can you look up.

Monographs are not necessarily more difficult than papers, but they are different things. In a narrow sense, monographs are the carding of the author's own research work. If they have been written, they have been written. If they have not been written, they have not been written. If they have been written, they despise what they have not written. There is no reason to say.

You are famous both at home and abroad for your thesis; You are full of peaches and plums, your disciples are members of the Standing Committee, and you are powerful; You have a certificate, a reputation in life, and you are powerful - you have never written a monograph, ha ha, you are a good scholar with intellectual disability and strong ambition.Zhou fan, a relatively young professor, turned pale when he saw a thick mimeograph book.

He came back from studying abroad. Although he was young, it was easy for him to become a professor. But the disadvantage of his youth was that he did not have enough time to do his work. Such a large project as monograph has not been included in his consideration, so naturally there is no such thing.

However, looking at the thick textbook like genomics, Zhou fan suddenly felt that he was not strong enough.

Yang Rui is much younger than him.

After turning more than ten pages of genomics silently, Zhou fan wanted to give himself a big mouth: they are all bad habits learned from abroad, and they don't have a door to speak! If you think of anything, just pour it out... I shouldn't express my opinion!

"I have no objection to let Yang Rui continue to maintain his student identity, but what's your idea to prevent Yang Rui from being poached by Tsinghua?" Professor Cai spoke again, leaving the opponents speechless.

"How about we raise the pay? Let Yang Rui wait a little. After another two years, he will stay in school to teach. He will be treated as a graduate student. " Lu Yueping put forward a relatively reasonable proposal.

However, that is to say, it is more reasonable. No one should talk to Lu Yueping.

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

All of you feel embarrassed.

In fact, it is easy to understand the professional title evaluation in China. Undergraduate graduates can be evaluated as teaching assistants after one year of internship and lecturers after three years; After one year's internship, master graduates can be evaluated as lecturers and associate professors. When a doctoral graduate enters a university, he or she will be evaluated as an associate professor after one year of internship, and he or she can be evaluated as a professor after five or seven years. Those who are less than this time limit will be promoted out of the ordinary.

It's very simple to see that the waiting time from teaching assistant to associate professor is basically the time required for postgraduate or doctoral education, because it's not necessarily possible to be evaluated. Such a system has slightly increased the value of further education.

If Yang Rui entered the university after graduation, he should have been a teaching assistant. If he was promoted to a lecturer, it would be an exception. Liu Lan said that if he was an associate professor, that would be the treatment of a doctoral student.

In China, except for the Department of mathematics, this situation is usually rare, but it is not without, especially for scholars who have written a large number of papers, it is easy to get exceptional promotion.

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

This is a very embarrassing thing. After all, he is already the director of the ion channel Laboratory of Peking University, and he has an associate professor like Xu Zhengping under his command. It seems that it is a shame not to give him an associate professor's title.

"It's really difficult." Lu Yueping laughs at herself and puts herself in Professor Cai's shoes. It's really difficult for him to be the dean.

"Call Xu Zhengping to ask. He knows more about Yang Rui." Wang Yong thought about it.

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

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

President Liu explained the main part to him and asked, "Lao Xu, you are the one who left Peking University. We want to keep Yang Rui. What do you think we can do?"

"Suddenly let me say, I didn't think about it either." Xu Zhengping reluctantly said, "I know that Yang Rui's genomics is about to be published. Norton press in the United States will probably give him an English version and sell it in the United States first."

"Will Yang Rui's genomics be sold to the United States?" Liu Lan was surprised. This tune is high.

Xu Zhengping nodded: "Norton press should attach great importance to it. It has sent people to discuss cooperation in the canteen at noon today."

"Our canteen in Peking University?" President Liu is like a tractor that has been started. He is shaking all over. 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 then said: "about one o'clock at noon."

"There's an hour left. I'll go and have a look." President Liu immediately got up and offered himself.

"Go with me." Professor Cai saw a room full of people ready to move, so he announced the end of the meeting.
