What happened to the establishment of Dunhuang Research Institute?

According to official website information of Dunhuang Research Institute, Dunhuang Archaeological Research Institute has 25 researchers, including 2 research librarians, 8 associate research librarians, 7 librarians, 5 assistant librarians, 4 doctors and 8 masters. At present, the main work is to compile the complete works of Dunhuang Grottoes, revise the contents of Dunhuang Grottoes, and continue the archaeological excavation of the Suoyangcheng site in Guazhou.

According to the announcement, since 20021,Dunhuang Research Institute has made many recruitments, including postdoctoral researchers, doctoral students and master students. , and there are certain requirements for majors. The staff of the Human Resources Department of Dunhuang Research Institute responded to the media that they lacked high-level talents such as doctors, and only one person signed up for archaeology, and the recruitment plan often fell through.

Many interviewees mentioned in an interview with Red Star News reporter that Dunhuang's remote geographical location, strict recruitment and post requirements, low salary and other factors have discouraged many applicants.

For scholars in the archaeological industry, whether they can adapt to high-intensity work and harsh environment will affect whether they choose other industries or go to professional archaeology after graduation. In the field of archaeology, we are also exploring ways to get rid of the shortage of archaeological talents.
