Assistant Professor / Associate Professor in Archaeology, Museology and Chinese Civilization

About the School

The History discipline of Nanjing University traces its roots to 1902 with the establishment of the National History Department of Sanjiang Normal School. In 1952, following national departmental restructuring, the History College of Central University, the Frontier Politics Department, and the History Department of Jinling University were integrated to form the current History Department. Nanjing University now boasts three first-level disciplines—Chinese History, World History, and Archaeology—each highly ranked in national evaluations. The department is recognized for its longstanding academic tradition, distinguished faculty, and comprehensive talent development programs at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels.

The newly established Institute of Archaeology, Museums and Chinese Civilization at Nanjing University’s Suzhou Campus is a forward-looking research hub. The institute focuses on key areas in Chinese archaeology and aims to advance multidisciplinary research by integrating field excavation, scientific archaeology, digital technology, and visual analysis. Dedicated to supporting national strategies and regional development, the institute is committed to developing the “New Liberal Arts” in archaeology, museology, and cultural heritage studies while cultivating interdisciplinary and application-oriented talents.
