To achieve this goal, FIST is setting up 14 research centers of excellence in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Bio-Science/Life-Science/ Basic-medical-Science, and Materials Science, and adopts a new management system similar to that of most U.S. universities. Seven out of the 14 planned centers have been established recently, and FIST is now recruiting the remaining seven Center Directors (either full-time or honorary). In addition, FIST invites applications to fill its multiple, full-time tenure-track faculty positions at all levels (from lab director to group leader), as well as postdoctoral positions.
