Chapter 538 Matching Funds
After the announcement of the "ion channel" laboratory was released, there was no shock.
In fact, if they let go of recruitment for more than ten days, wait for people from far away to come, and then release the announcement, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction. But now it's only been a day, and the news hasn't gotten out yet, the announcement of the laboratory has been released, and the researchers from nearby districts and counties have not had such a big reaction.
It's just that there is one less place to go, and there is no one who does not go to Yang Rui's laboratory.
An amino acid analyzer and scanning electron microscope are good, but the professors and associate professors who have the ability to start their own projects think more about borrowing, and they can't start their own projects, and the gentlemen who can't afford to be independent can't just sell themselves for this.
Just like Xu Zhengping estimated, those who are willing to apply are more interested in the establishment of Peking University.
Yang Rui raised the conditions, and naturally fewer people came, so he waited for another week.
Still not waiting for the calf he wants - he is not too demanding, he must be the calf who will write a top paper in the future, and he must be a young man outside the top university who is not in such a good situation now.
If you want to be interested in Yang Rui's laboratory, it will be very difficult for you to take the bait.
A week later, don't say that Yang Rui can't wait, Xu Zhengping can't wait either.
"If you really can't do it, please ask Professor Cai to arrange manpower. Xu Zhengping hadn't finished the previous project yet, and the people under his hands couldn't pull it out, but the equipment in the laboratory was hungry for him.
When he is eating now, his eyes are different when he sees the kelp gods.
Yang Rui asked, "Where will Professor Cai arrange people?"
"Deploy it, there is a shortage of people in various laboratories now, and those who can be found are either graduates this year or teaching assistants who graduated two years ago. "It is the basic process in colleges and universities for undergraduate students to be appointed as teaching assistants, master's students to be evaluated as lecturers after one year of employment, and doctoral students to be evaluated as associate professors after one year of employment.
According to the current level, only a very small number of people can get two years of laboratory training in four years of undergraduate college, and those who have more than three years are already the elite among the students.
In other words, it is impossible for a teacher to meet Yang Rui's needs as a teaching assistant.
In fact, Yang Rui has already selected young teachers in Peking University, what he wants, people will not release people, and if they will release people, he doesn't want it.
There are not many calves that no one has captured, after all, even Huang Mao, who was captured by him, is not unappreciated, but is pulled away by his better conditions......
"We've got to get the deal up. Yang Rui thought of his two experiences of pulling people, and said: "I thought that the conditions of the two instruments were good enough, but it seems that they are still not good enough, and they are not attractive enough." ”
Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "The amino acid analyzer is naturally good, and the scanning electron microscope is also good, but to do experiments, there must be something compatible......"
Yang Rui thought that he was going to say that he was going to buy ordinary instruments again, so he hurriedly said: "Although the exchange experiment is troublesome, it is also a solution, and it is better to have a good instrument than nothing." ”
"I'm not saying to be compatible with other instruments, but to be compatible with funds and projects, others don't know our situation, they must consider how to carry out the work after coming, if there is no supporting funds and projects, they have to apply for their own, so that there will be more time delayed. "To apply for a provincial or ministerial fund or something, it takes two or three months for the shortest, and half a year for the longest.
Yang Rui slowly bowed his head and said, "We need to match the funds." ”
"I think we have to think about it more, in fact, the person who came here a few days ago is not bad, just like the one who came the day before yesterday, the lecturer of Huazhong Agricultural College, who is in the prime of life, and the direction of research is also the right one, if it is not for the sake of returning to Beijing, if it is not for the home in Beijing, it will definitely not be tired from Wuhan to come for an interview. Huazhong Agricultural College is about to be renamed Huazhong Agricultural University, and the funds must have increased a lot, at this age, at this time, it is a good time to produce results, and I am not willing to go to an unfamiliar place to start over. Xu Zhengping's reasons couldn't be more abundant.
Although the lecturer of Huazhong Agricultural College who came the day before yesterday was good, it had not yet reached the level that Yang Rui wanted, and it was a second-best choice.
Yang Rui groaned: "You mean that the conditions of our laboratory are still not good enough?
"The laboratory conditions are more important, just your two instruments, the people you can attract, the people you see these days, if you want to be more powerful, then take better things out, you say yes. ”
"It's not for everyone, there's always someone who prefers personal treatment. ”
"The personal treatment is not much better, you can't give people a bonus of 100 yuan, and the school can't get by, so the conditions of the laboratory are the most important. Xu Zhengping was a little comforting, he knew that Yang Rui was generous, but after all, this was for Yang Rui to pay, and it was impossible to say how much, according to what people say now, it is equivalent to a bottomless pit.
However, the increase in the number of people in the laboratory is also closely related to Xu Zhengping, as an associate professor without an independent laboratory, Xu Zhengping is only in his current status wherever he goes, and he does not even have his current status, after all, a bull professor like Professor Tang Zhong may not necessarily listen to him.
It can be said that staying in Yang Rui's laboratory, except for the fact that it doesn't sound so good, everything else is very good.
In the end, whether it is really good or fake depends on the results of the laboratory.
The results need to be supported by manpower.
After entering the modern era, the requirements of the laboratory are getting higher and higher, and if you don't have the manpower to cooperate, you can do some ordinary projects, and if you want to do a project that can be an independent laboratory, you must get involved in the competition.
No one competes for anything!
However, Xu Zhengping is obviously not familiar with Yang Rui enough.
Yang Rui is a sturdy local tyrant, not to mention a salary of 100 yuan, 1000 yuan can be opened, Huarui Laboratory is not smashed out like this, and the calf Huang Mao and Tu Xian and his wife resigned from public office.
However, Yang Rui reacted again in an instant, Xu Zhengping is not hinting at academic **.
Compared with the salary, the funds are obviously high, and it is easy to pick up.
In other words, an increase in research funding is equivalent to an increase in both work and personal treatment.
Yang Rui also has no moral cleanliness, so he figured out this trick and immediately said: "Then let's make an announcement and say that two experimental groups will be established, with an initial fund of 30,000 yuan for each group." ”
"30,000?" Xu Zhengping was moved, and immediately shook his hand and said: "It's too high, if you do it like this, the school has to fry the pot, 3000 is enough, 2000 is a lot." ”
"The first time I applied for school funding that year, I got 2,000. Yang Rui's frame of reference is also very direct, and in his opinion, 2000 is not attractive at all.
Xu Zhengping said helplessly: "2000 is a lot, you think the school funds are easy to apply, and if you come, you will give 2000, which is equivalent to taking a sum of money for nothing, and he can still apply for school funds." ”
"Maybe the other party has already had the funds?"
"If you have applied for funding, it is impossible to come to our laboratory, and the other school will not let you go. ”
Yang Rui said noncommittally: "If we want to attract people, let's give 10,000, 10,000, it's good to listen to, attractive." ”
In the eyes of most scientific research apes, even if it is a boil out, academic ** can also be deducted according to the upper limit, three out of forty percent, almost no one cares.
It's not so easy to get along with each other day and night, and you understand each other's work, if you have a clear relationship between superiors and subordinates, it's even more difficult to think.
However, there are also unspoken rules in academia, generally speaking, the researchers below the big boss apply for the funds themselves, and the big boss either takes the lead or doesn't care, and very few of them take it directly.
Such rules have lasted in China for at least 20 years, and after entering the 21st century, they have gradually decreased, of course, not because the academic ** is gone, but because the practices of the big bosses are becoming more and more bandits, so that their subordinates are almost unprofitable.
For example, when Yang Rui was in the laboratory of Tang Concentration, Tang Concentration was very single-minded and asked Yang Rui to distribute the funds he obtained, which was also the big business of Tang Concentration, and he looked down on Yang Rui's small funds, and in addition, it was also his alternative support for Yang Rui.
As for Yang Rui's current ion channel laboratory, because Yang Rui applied for the funds, the experimental group below can only endure his allocation of funds.
The leader of the scientific research team who got 10,000 yuan, the bold ones only dared to be two percent, and the majority were one percent.
This is equivalent to a one-time subsidy of 1,000 yuan, which is not too much from Yang Rui's point of view.
Xu Zhengping hesitated for a moment about the figure of 10,000 yuan before saying, "It's okay, our laboratory is special after all." ”
When he said this, he gave Yang Rui a special look.
Yang Rui licked his lips when he didn't see it.
The inability to attract enough people, especially the calves, has something to do with Yang Rui himself.
Although the publication of the cell paper made him famous in the scientific research circle, the obstacle of age has always been a problem.
If the promising calves are not necessary, they will not come to Yang Rui to beg for a living.
Unless the conditions are very good.
It seems that in Xu Zhengping's eyes, Yang Rui's age barrier is about 8,000 yuan.
"If you have 10,000 yuan, the project is not very important, and I will announce it?" Xu Zhengping was also tired of long-term interviews.
Yang Rui nodded and said, "Let those who are willing to come submit their resumes first." ”
"Okay, I'm willing to come and hand in my resume. Xu Zhengping put it another way, which is more in line with the habits of people now.
"Add another $500, which can be used to buy reagents and so on, and many of the materials used in our instruments have to be used in foreign exchange. Yang Rui was afraid that he would not be able to seduce the calf, so he added bait.
Xu Zhengping was once again greedy for Yang Rui's bait, and after a while, he said, "Don't use all the funds......"
"Rest assured, I will support your project. Yang Rui didn't need him to finish speaking, so he gave a sentence.
Xu Zhengping was extremely satisfied, and happily went to post the announcement.
This time the announcement was posted, but it was no longer unfazed.
The reason why the 100 Talents Program and the 1000 Talents Program in later generations are attractive is nothing more than three points: the first is to give political treatment, the so-called "Thousand Talents Program Scholars" or "Changjiang Scholars" are all leaders in the academic circles; the second is to provide preferential treatment, and the solution of the house and wife's work is basic, and even the working hours can be discussed; the third is the research conditions, starting with several million yuan of research funds and state-level laboratories, which are not much worse than those in foreign countries.
The starting fund is different from the long-term funding, such as Yang Rui's laboratory, his starting fund is 180,000 yuan for infrastructure, and the money disappeared before he got his hands on, leaving him with a good laboratory to calculate, and the rest of the serious funds, Peking University gave 50,000 yuan first, and the rest was given slowly.
If you do research, if 50,000 yuan is an annual fund, then it will be published to JMC at most, and the top journals are not even thinking about it, and it is difficult to supplement them, so 50,000 yuan is the starting fund, and this money is also the loosest management, buy some stationery, bring some taxi invoices or something, you can be reimbursed.
And the grace period for using this money is the time for researchers to apply for funding.
The foundations responsible for managing funds, as well as the science and technology commissions at all levels, are actually very similar to banks, both of which are responsible for sending umbrellas on sunny days and collecting umbrellas on rainy days.
These institutions, seeing that the researcher has a starting fund of 50,000 yuan, and when they give money, they naturally have to consider the value and significance of this money.
Under the same conditions, a researcher with a funding of 50,000 yuan will definitely apply for more funding than a researcher with a funding of only 5,000 yuan.
It's like a company with assets of 50 million is a better loan than a company with assets of 5 million.
In the eyes of the foundation or the science and technology commission, the risk of allocating funds to high-funded projects is naturally small, and there is also an explanation in case there is a remedy-you see, Peking University has given 50,000 yuan in supporting funds, and Peking University has been deceived! What can we do?
Such a dark rule naturally has loopholes, for example, the school is equipped with tens of thousands of yuan in advance, wouldn't it be easier to get state funds. If the school doesn't withdraw the money, it does!
However, funding is the last word, not who wants to match it, in the final analysis, it still has to be ranked and competed in the school, so such a rule has been continued, until Yang Rui was in graduate school, there was not much change, but the amount of money rose.
After 30 years, the school will allocate a fund of 180,000 yuan, at most, not to discriminate against provincial and ministerial funds, and if it wants to be beneficial, it will need 200,000 or 300,000 yuan. Of course, the requirements for state-level funds are higher, and the project leader must first have a provincial or ministerial fund of seven or eight hundred thousand yuan in order to have an advantage in the state-level fund of one or two million.
Most schools can't afford to play with such specifications.
In 1984, Yang Rui's initial capital of 50,000 yuan was also a high-standard independent laboratory.
Similarly, Yang Rui took out a starting fund of 10,000 yuan, which is not unattainable for the scientific research team, but also high. In the Department of Biology of Peking University, half of the scientific research groups do not have this initial funding, while in universities other than Peking University, at least ninety percent of the scientific research groups do not have an initial funding of 10,000 yuan.
On the road of smashing people with money, Yang Rui can be regarded as finding his hammer.
Within a few days, Yang Rui's ion channel laboratory received a table full of resumes, or rather, resumes.
Some of these resumes were sent by real people, some were sent, and the farthest came from Yunnan......
The journey of six thousand miles through trials and hardships really made Yang Rui doubt the news channels of the people in the 80s.
And in a bunch of resumes, Yang Rui also found a familiar name as he wished.
Finally...... Yang Rui is about to cry! It's easy for me to catch a calf!
