Chapter 220 (1/2)
”I haven't arranged this part, and the school hasn't asked me about it -”
Zheng Jianguo didn't expect Levin in the next building to guess correctly. In fact, as he finished this sentence, Professor Fisher of Harvard University came to his mind. He was afraid he should find his own understanding soon. It's just a little uncertain. Of course, considering the agreement signed between him and Massachusetts General Hospital that he spends 10 hours of study and scientific research every Friday, I vaguely felt whether I could squeeze some time out of the two days on Saturday and Sunday: ”according to the requirements of the agreement, I will have time only on Saturday and Sunday -”
”That's good. I thought you wanted to give up your research in this field. It's a pity -”
Thomas said that he stood up and rubbed his hands together and walked back and forth for a few steps. He had known the work and rest of doctors long before contacting Zheng Jianguo. He knew that inpatients, like junior and senior students in the laboratory, were cheap labor, but it was much more exaggerated in the hospital than in the laboratory. There were shifts for 30 hours, There are also those who work nine to five more regularly than Wall Street elites, so even in the name of Zheng Jianguo, they have to work five full days a week.
The regular shift time could not be considered, which was originally considered by Thomas. But when he heard Zheng Jianguo's confirmation, he smiled and said, ”Zheng, would you like to use one or one and a half of these two days to do research in my laboratory?”
”Well - I don't know if there are any requirements in the inpatient agreement.”
Zheng Jianguo wanted to agree to Thomas' invitation. MIT is not too far from the Massachusetts General Hospital. If you drive, it's only ten minutes away without traffic jam. Even it's about the same distance from his new home. The most important thing is that he doesn't want to give up the follow-up of atomic graphite layer, Who knows if any big man can really solve the problem of industrial production: ”if there are no restrictions on the agreement with the hospital, I don't want to waste the current research on atomic graphite layer --”
”Good! OK! Great! ”
Thomas nodded with a smile. As a professor, he had seen many good students. However, he was the first to be willing to keep learning like Zheng Jianguo and be able to learn as soon as possible.
Looking at Zheng Jianguo nodding in agreement, Thomas looked at him and drank the poured coffee without looking outside. He turned to his desk, picked up a document and put it in front of him: ”I asked if the inpatient can do part-time outside working hours, and my laboratory is not a biological laboratory, Therefore, there will be no conflict with you in medical research. This is an agreement without time and signature. Considering that you don't have a fixed time to come, I'd like to invite you to the laboratory as a part-time associate professor - ”
Ulrika just became an assistant professor——
A long lost face flashed through his mind. Zheng Jianguo spent so long in the laboratories of MIT and Harvard. He also knew that most doctors who graduated from the Department of physics could only get the position of assistant professor. Of course, this was only after they could be liked and invited by the school, but he didn't expect MIT to offer him such a condition directly, Go over the assistant professor and become an associate professor?!
The academic titles in the United States are relatively simple compared with those in China. There are four promotion levels: ordinary teachers, assistant professors, associate professors and full professors. In addition, they are not absent, but they are separated from the scope of academic education and become department heads and Deans in an administrative direction, such as Nobel laureates at Harvard and MIT, At most, these people have the title of laboratory or department head or dean on their heads.
Zheng Jianguo thinks highly of himself because he knows that Helicobacter pylori and graphene are Nobel Prize achievements. Now he tries his best to get the name as soon as possible. After all, a cultural man said decades ago that it's time to be famous!
In fact, as Zheng Jianguo thought, Helicobacter pylori won the MD and PhD joint training program before winning the Nobel Prize. Just when he thought graphene could be left behind for a few years, even in his dream yesterday, he didn't expect MIT to offer him such a treatment: ”part-time associate professor?”
”Yes, if you promise, you will become the youngest associate professor at MIT. Of course, due to the time, the agreement does not arrange you to teach college students, but is responsible for the teaching arrangement of doctoral students in the laboratory -”
Thomas put the agreement in Zheng Jianguo's hand and sat on the sofa next to him. He thought of ullika's gray prospect for the atomic graphite layer. He had the idea of looking for a chance to start when he graduated. After all, this is the first person who is most likely to win the Nobel Prize in physiology and physics at the same time, More importantly, he is so young: ”if you have any conditions, you can mention it.”
”Pay $18.50 an hour and work 60 hours every four weeks -”
After scanning the agreement at a glance, Zheng Jianguo didn't expect to be so generous. Except that the hourly salary is five or six times higher than his inpatient treatment, other benefits are almost the same as those offered to him by the hospital. Generally speaking, the shift in the last week of each month earned $45, 000 in vain, so he didn't think much and nodded: ”well, since you have wasted so much effort, If I refuse again, I won't appreciate it -- ”
”Oh, good!”
Looking at Zheng Jianguo signing in surprise, Thomas couldn't help hesitating: ”well, you, Professor Fisher didn't talk to you?”
”Not yet ~”
After signing the agreement, Thomas took it out and put it in his arms. With a bright smile, he said, ”it's just that the reporting time should be postponed for a few days. Tomorrow -- oh, you'll go too?”
”I must go to the March meeting, but it's still your light ~”
Speaking of Zheng Jianguo's discovery at that time, Thomas is still smiling bitterly: ”who can think that what is stained on the tape is what you are looking for, Zheng, your observation is too keen -”
”It can only be said that you were preconceived before, and my attention was different when I first arrived -”
