Shaotong College has announced its recruitment for PhD candidates! Is this true?

In October 2020, Yunnan Zhaotong University issued the "Announcement on Zhaotong University's On-Campus Recruitment of Ph.D. Spouses in 2020". The public thought that it was to find a partner for the Ph.D., but this was actually an own incident.

Looking carefully, this announcement recruits 2 people, and also restricts many conditions? Master’s degree?, Age?, Major?... However, there is another recruitment condition: The most important thing is that the applicants must be the spouses of PhDs from Zhaotong University. So the target group for recruitment is actually the spouses of PhDs. In fact, jobs are provided to the spouses of PhDs.

Enthusiasts and reporters have verified with Zhaotong University. The college also stated that this recruitment is not to find candidates for Ph.D., but to find jobs for Ph.D. candidates, and the entire process is open, fair and impartial. They hope that through this recruitment, the school's PhD students can solve family problems and have no worries at work. In addition, they also mentioned that if other schools have corresponding positions, they will also be released under such announcement names.

Why does Zhaotong University have this trick? In fact, it is also a policy for them to retain talents. First of all, in terms of college entrance examination scores, this college is only a second-tier school, and the overall academic level of the school is not particularly top-notch. In addition, this school is located in Zhaotong City, Yunnan Province, which is not a first-tier city with a particularly developed economy. For this school, attracting talent is not that easy.

So, when students are willing to study for a doctoral degree at their school, the school will put a lot of effort into them, hoping to produce academic results and publish more papers. Therefore, this initiative was launched, hoping that the spouses of PhD students studying in this school can solve their work problems, allowing them to do academic work and produce results with peace of mind. In addition, when your spouse stays in the same school as you, you will spend more time in school, treat the school as your home, and stay in school more for scientific research and study.

To sum up, this is actually just an error, but it still reflects Zhaotong University’s care for doctoral students.
