Following the Introduction of Recruitment Units, Prof. Yan Liu from Wuhan University presented a lecture on academic career development entitled "Employment System and Basically Correct Long-term Research Plan". Introduced by the conflict between reality and ideal in the academic profession, Prof. Liu pointed out that graduate students should consider both the short-term requirements of the university's achievements and their long-term career development in their research field and research plan. As for the employment system in colleges, he explains that the employment system is a results-oriented performance appraisal non-complete contract by summarizing the characteristics of pre-employment, quasi-employment and permanent employment. Therefore, young scholars should make long-term and short-term career planning. In the short term, they should demonstrate their academic ability with high-quality results, and in the medium and long term, they should achieve academic recognition with continuous output in the field, and constantly break through the "comfort zone" of research. As for both the short and long term, he emphasizes establishing a "basically correct long-term research plan" as soon as possible, and points out that the standard is the ability to write a field review. Prof. Liu's sharing aroused strong resonance among the participants.
