Postdoctoral position : School of Biological Sciences, University of Hong Kong

School of Biological Sciences/ The Swire Institute of Marine ScienceThe University of Hong Kong
A postdoctoral position is available to study larval response to climate change, ocean acidification and emerging new pollutants at biochemical and molecular levels using environmental proteomics and/or bionanotechnology tools in economically important marine invertebrates (e.g. oyster and biofouling species).
Requirements: We are seeking talented, enthusiastic and creative young researchers with a strong commitment to interdisciplinary research. Excellent communication skills (in English), both oral and written, are essential. Previous research experience and research publication in larval culture or oyster culture, or proteomics or bionanotechnology fields are advantageous.
Qualifications: The candidate should have a Ph.D degree in marine science or marine chemistry or bionanotechnology. Research experience in calcification mechanisms, ocean acidification effects, and biominerlization is desirable. Expertise in oyster larval biology is highly encouraged to apply.
Salary: Depends on the candidates qualification and is determined by the University and the supervisor. It ranges from HK$ 14000 to 25000 per month (1 US$ = 7.8 HK$). For this salary range, the income tax is negligible in Hong Kong.
For further information about HKU please visit www.hku.hk. The HKU is ranking at 26 among the top 200 universities in the world. My environmental proteomics, ocean acidification, and larval biology laboratories are member of the School of Biological Sciences (www.hku.hk/biosch/) and the Swire Institute of Marine Science (www.hku.hk/swims/), the latter is a unique research facility situated within Hong Kong’s only Marine Reserve. As such postdoctoral fellows will be exposed to a diverse, vibrant and interdisciplinary research environment (marine molecular ecology) and will be working on one of the hot-science topics, climate change, ocean acidification and bionanotechnology.
Please send CV, a statement outlining your interests, career objectives and experience (with evidence) in marine science together with names and contact information for three references familiar with your research work. to Dr. V Thiyagarajan (rajan {at} hkucc.hku(.)hk ).
