*** PhD Student / PostDoc Recruitment ***
We always have self-financed/funded (i.e. with fully funded scholarships covering living costs and tuition fee) positions available for graduate students (PhD/Master) and postdoctorial scholars. Please send an email (with your CV and other supporting materials) to us if you are interested. Especially, PhD applicants are highly encouraged to apply for the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (About USD$ 3200 per month (tax free)). If unsuccessful, your application will be considered for normal studentship (more than USD$2000 per month, tax free). Please put down "Ka-Chun Wong" as your potential supervisor in your applications (i.e. please type "Ka-Chun Wong" in the question "If you have contact any CityU academic staff member, please provide his/her fullname." in the *Other Information* section in the CityU(HK) graduate school application system); otherwise, your applications may not reach us. (***Please click here to send an email to us***). More information can be found at Graduate School. You have to apply thorough the graduate school via this link. In the past years (since 2015), PhD offers have already been given to students from Hong Kong, Mainland China, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Parkistan, India, Canada, France, USA, and UK.
A suitable candidate should have ALL of the following good (not necessarily excellent) qualifications:
Good Ability to Work Independently
Good Ability to Withstand and Profit from Criticism (e.g. Responses to Reviewers)
Good Adaptation to Different Environments (e.g. Discipline-specific Culture Adaptation)
Good Technical Skills (e.g. GPA > 3 out of 4)
Good Organization and Rational Judgement Ability (e.g. Job Prioritization)
