We always welcome creative and self-motivated students, postdocs, and visiting researchers to join our team. To inquire, please contact me via email.

Postgraduate Students

We have two PhD positions open for Fall 2023.

The students will join the Postgraduate Program at the Department of Ocean Science at HKUST, with financial support via Student Scholarships. You will receive multidisciplinary trainings in physical, chemical and biological aspects of marine (aquatic) science and use diverse research approaches including field measurements, laboratory experiments and analyses, and numerical modeling.

We encourage applicants with strong chemistry (or geochemistry, environmental chemistry and other relevant) background to apply. Prior training in geoscience is NOT required, but you should have strong interests in mulitidisciplinary research. Solid understanding in physics and good mathematical skills (college level) are strongly desired.

Applicants are encouraged to get in touch early to discuss about your interests and the application. To apply, please go to the HKUST application system.

Please refer to the HKUST website for more information about the University, the OCES department, postgraduate studies, the postgraduate program, admission requirements and Student Scholarships.

Postdoctoral Researcher

We have a postdoc position open. The postdoctoral scholarship will be sponsored by the International Research Platform (IRPC) of Center for Ocean Research in Hong Kong and Macau (CORE). The postdoc will be co-supervised by Dr. Jiying Li and Dr. Sergei Katsev. The position can start ASAP and we encourage interested individuals to get in touch to discuss possible projects.

Undergraduate students

We welcome undergraduate students to engage in our research. Please see the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) for more information. Get in touch with us if you would like to discuss potential projects in our lab, or are motivated to propose your own research idea.
