"First of all, thank you all for being willing to apply to our Science Island Laboratory."
"Now, please enter in an orderly manner and prepare for the examination."
Xiao Yi said.
Meanwhile, staff members beside him opened the doors to the examination rooms.
Science Island Laboratory naturally did not have space for examination rooms, so Xiao Yi had borrowed classrooms from USTC. Even the staff were from USTC.
In any case, Science Island Laboratory had close ties with USTC, so USTC naturally would not refuse. Not to mention that quite a few professors at USTC also held research positions at Science Island Laboratory and could use the laboratory.
Of course, those part-time positions were naturally different from the full-time researchers currently being recruited.
Only full-time researchers counted as true insiders.
Very soon, the applicants entered their respective examination rooms according to their chosen fields. The positions were mainly divided into four areas: pure mathematics, mathematical physics, condensed matter, and materials.
Although pure mathematics had not originally been included among the laboratory's research areas, Xiao Yi had decided to recruit for it as well, considering that there was not much difference between pure mathematics and mathematical physics.
After all, he was a Fields Medal recipient. If his own laboratory did not even have people in pure mathematics, would that not make it seem unprofessional?
Of course, perhaps precisely because of his status as a Fields Medal recipient, this recruitment drive had attracted the largest number of applicants from mathematics and mathematical physics. Of the three Outstanding Young Scholars drawn here, two specialized in pure mathematics and mathematical physics respectively. They likely hoped they could exchange ideas with Xiao Yi and receive some guidance from him when working on future projects.
All four examination papers had been written by Xiao Yi
