We have multiple positions open for Ph.D. students, postdocs, and research assitants. All research positions involve experimental activities that include applied optics and fluid handling for reacting flows. Procedural details for applying to each active position are listed further below.
PhD students are at the core of our research program. We are seeking experimentally-inclined, hard-working graduate students to convert new ideas into practice and advance the fields of laser spectroscopy and clean energy. Our research is conducive to students with backgrounds in photonics and optics as well as traditional mechanical and aerospace background at the bachelors or masters level. Experiences in mechanical design and CAD softwares are desired. Prospective students should email Prof. Wei at chuyuwei@hku.hk with your resume/CV and a short description of your interests in the field of research. Students currently enrolled in the masters program at HKU may also contact Prof. Wei to schedule a meeting to discuss interest in the lab. Students with strong background are highly encouraged to apply for fellowships including the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) and the HKU Presidential PhD Scholarship.
We seek to employ postdoctoral scholars interested in preparing for a career in academia or gaining new expertise in laser spectroscopy and physical gas dynamics. Postdoctoral appointments are nominally for a two-year period, and typically include a more diverse mix of responsibilities relative to graduate students. Postdocs are expected to provide technical leadership and graduate student mentoring and further assist in proposal writing, teaching, and project management. Postdocs are often sought to support specific projects as well that require more than one graduate student researcher. Candidate postdocs should contact Prof. Wei at chuyuwei@hku.hk with your CV and a short description of your interests in our research. Strong candidates are highly encouraged to apply for RGC Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme and Hong Kong Scholar Scheme (香江学者计划).
Master and undergraduate students are sought to assist in research activities. Experimental activities in the Wei Lab are a strong training ground for engineers that intend to join industry in areas of testing, instrumentation, data analysis, and product development. Interested students should contact Prof. Wei at chuyuwei@hku.hk with your resume/CV and a short description of your interests in the field of research.
