The School of Cybersecurity at Tianjin University was established in 2017 and was approved in 2024 as one of the demonstration projects for the construction of a first-class cybersecurity academy by the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission and the Ministry of Education (one of 16 nationwide). The school has master's and doctoral programs in first-level disciplines and boasts a strong academic atmosphere, rich industry-university-research cooperation resources, and a steady stream of talented students. We sincerely invite outstanding cybersecurity talent from both home and abroad to join us! We also welcome applications for high-level talent programs such as the Haiyou program through Tianjin University's Cybersecurity School.

Project Overview
The Outstanding Young Scientists Fund (Overseas) aims to attract and encourage outstanding young scholars from overseas, who have achieved good results in natural sciences, engineering, and technology, to return to China (or come to China) for work. These scholars can independently choose their research directions and engage in innovative research to promote the rapid growth of young scientific and technological talent. The goal is to cultivate a group of academic leaders or outstanding talents who are likely to enter the forefront of global science and technology, contributing to the construction of a strong technological nation.
The application deadline for this year’s project is September 15, 2025.
