Closing Date: Until the post is filled

The Department of Electronic Engineering (EE) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is seeking outstanding candidates for Research Assistant Professorship (RAP).

~~~~

~~~~RESEARCH AREA OF INTEREST:

Nanoscale photodetectors for infrared sensing and intelligent recognition, namely innovative infrared photodetectors/phototransistors crafted from atomically-thin films, enhanced infrared photodetectors/phototransistors featuring on artificial micro-nano structures, and smart chips to integrate sensing, memory, and processing capabilities, devised from novel optoelectronic and electronic devices. The outstanding performance of the detectors is highly anticipated via specially customized designs, to render unique physical properties and phenomena, such as robust couplings between electronic/photonic excitations and the van der Waals interfaces.

Applicants should have:

(a) a Ph.D. degree in electronic, materials science and engineering, physics, chemical engineering or related disciplines; (b) strong research accomplishments in grants and publications and active involvement in writing grant proposals; (c) the potential to become an independent researcher in obtaining future/sustained extramural funding and establishing significant externally- funded research programmes; (d) fluency in both written and spoken English, good organizational skills, the ability to work independently, a strong sense of responsibility and team spirit, and self-motivation; (e) outstanding academic records/publications; (f) substantial postdoctoral experience or equivalent qualification; and (g) in-depth research and clear teaching statements.

The appointee will work closely with Professor Jianbin Xu in the Department to enhance the existing strengths. The appointee is expected to:

(i) be able to have top-tier research outputs and apply for RGC GRF grants and similar external competitive grants; (ii) undertake some teaching duties at undergraduate and postgraduate levels; and (iii) provide service at departmental, faculty and/or university levels.

HOW TO APPLY

To apply, please upload full resume, copies of academic credentials, publication list with soft copies of 5 most representative publications, details of courses taught and evaluation results (if available), a research plan, a teaching statement, and the names and contact information of three to five referees.

Appointment will initially be made on contract basis for up to three years, renewable subject to satisfactory performance and funding availability. Review of applications will begin as soon as possible and only shortlisted applicants will be notified. Applications will be accepted until the post is filled.
