The research group led by Dr. Pan-Jun Kim at Hong Kong Baptist University (Department of Biology) invites applications for PhD Students (research postgraduate students) in the areas of mathematical biology, systems biology, and/or biomedical informatics. Hong Kong Baptist University is a public institution funded by the Hong Kong SAR Government, promoting academic excellence and innovation. Information on Pan-Jun Kim’s group can be found from http://panjunkim.com.
The research will focus on the predictive computational modeling of (i) microbial ecosystem–immune system interactions inside human body and (ii) various metabolic, regulatory, and signaling networks inside/between cells, and (iii) large-scale analysis of multi-omic and medical data in health and disease. Screening of applications begins immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.
Applicants should be strongly experienced in mathematics, physics, computer science, or their related fields, and should be highly motivated, cooperative, and responsible. The candidates are expected to have some computer programing experience (e.g., Python or C++), and good communication skills in English. Prior research experience would be a plus. To apply, please send your cover letter, curriculum vitae (including the contact information of at least two references), and English-translated copies of transcripts to Dr. Pan-Jun Kim through the email address: extutor (AT) gmail (DOT) com. Non-English native applicants are encouraged to send their scores in TOEFL, IELTS, or CET to the same email address.
