Introduction:

Ranked among China's top universities and recognized at the national level for its goal to build a world top university, Xi'an Jiaotong University is currently recruiting young scholars with outstanding performance to make further breakthroughs in its basic science frontline and interdisciplinary research. The University has implemented “Young Talent Support Plan” with the aim of bringing together a number of emerging scholars who have demonstrated remarkable academic potential.

With more than 100 years of development, School of Mechanical Engineering (SME) has quite solid foundation for research and teaching. SME now possesses 8 national research or teaching bases (2011 Collaborative Innovation Center of High-end Manufacturing Equipment, Quality Science and Technology Research Institute, International Joint Lab of Micro-Nano Manufacturing and Testing Technology, State Key Lab of Manufacturing System, State Key Lab of Mechanical Structure Strength and Vibration, State Engineering Research Center of Rapid Processing, State Experiment Teaching Demonstration Center of Mechanical Base, State Experiment Teaching Demonstration Center of Engineering, etc.), 2 national off-campus field work bases for students (XJTU-Qinchuan Machine Tool Group Field Work Base, etc.), 9 labs or engineering centers affiliated to a province or ministry (Ministry of Education Key Lab of Modern Design and Rotor Bearing System, Key Lab of Shaanxi Provincial Quality Assurance and Diagnosis of Mechanical Products, Shaanxi Provincial Key Lab of Intelligent Robot, etc.). In 2011, the undergraduate program of mechanical engineering and automation got the engineering education accreditation (6 years), which got a high appraisal by Mary E. F. Kasarda, the Chair of ASME Engineering Education Accreditation Committee.
