The academic job market for fresh Ph.D. students to pursue postdoctoral andjunior faculty positions plays a crucial role in shaping the futureorientations, developments, and status of the global academic system. In thiswork, we focus on the domestic Ph.D. hiring network among universities in Chinaby exploring the doctoral education and academic employment of nearly 28,000scientists across all Ph.D.-granting Chinese universities over three decades.We employ the minimum violation rankings algorithm to decode the rankings foruniversities based on the Ph.D. hiring network, which offers a deepunderstanding of the structure and dynamics within the network. Our resultsuncover a consistent, highly structured hierarchy within this hiring network,indicating the imbalances wherein a limited number of universities serve as themain sources of fresh Ph.D. across diverse disciplines. Furthermore, over time,it has become increasingly challenging for Chinese Ph.D. graduates to securepositions at institutions more prestigious than their alma maters. This studyquantitatively captures the evolving structure of talent circulation in thedomestic environment, providing valuable insights to enhance the organization,diversity, and talent distribution in China's academic enterprise.
