The National Time Service Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (referred to as the National Time Service Center), established in 1966, is the only scientific research institution in China specializing in comprehensive research on time and frequency fundamentals and applied research. It is responsible for the generation, maintenance, and dissemination of the national standard time (Beijing time), and ranks among the top three in the world in terms of the performance of the national standard time and its contribution to the production of international standard time.
The National Time Service Center mainly conducts research on quantum frequency standards, timekeeping, time and frequency transmission, time and frequency measurement, timing terminals, astronomical time measurement, satellite navigation, and other areas. It is currently undertaking major tasks such as the high-precision ground-based timing system of national major science and technology infrastructure, the construction of the national time and frequency system, the time and frequency system of space stations, and major special projects for satellite navigation. It is also in the process of establishing the "Time Reference and Applications" national key laboratory. It operates one of China's earliest major science and technology infrastructures, the long and short wave time service system, and has built the country's only integrated satellite navigation timing test platform, making significant contributions to the construction and development of China's national time and frequency system and satellite navigation system. It currently has three working campuses: Xi'an Aerospace Industry Base, Lintong District, and Xi'an Science Park (under construction), providing an excellent career development platform and working environment for outstanding talents.
According to the discipline layout and the needs of scientific research tasks, we sincerely invite outstanding talents both domestically and internationally who are engaged in research on time and frequency science and the fusion of time navigation to join the National Time Service Center and contribute to the construction of a scientific and technological power.
