About this position

The University of Hong Kong is inviting applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Microbiology, School of Clinical Medicine. The appointment is expected to begin as soon as possible and will run for two to three years, with possible renewal and promotion subject to funding and satisfactory performance.

This is primarily a computational/dry-lab position within a multidisciplinary team studying emerging infectious diseases. Research themes include virus–host interactions, pathogenic determinants, virus evolution, cellular heterogeneity and immune responses. The successful candidate will work closely with wet-lab researchers and may lead projects, prepare manuscripts, assist with grant applications, and co-supervise junior researchers and graduate students.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in virology, immunology, microbiology, pathogen biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, mathematics, computer science or a related field. Strong programming skills in R, Python, C or C++ and experience with bioinformatic platforms are required. Expertise in multi-omics, single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics is particularly valued. Candidates with combined computational and molecular or virology experience are encouraged, while pure computational biologists are also eligible.

The position offers a competitive salary based on qualifications and experience, annual leave and medical benefits. Applications should include a CV, two academic reference letters, and relevant supporting documents. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until 31 March 2027, or until the position is filled. Enquiries may be directed to Professor Hin Chu at [email protected].

Funding details

A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience is offered, together with annual leave and medical benefits. The appointment is for two to three years, with possible renewal and promotion subject to funding availability and satisfactory performance.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Virology, Immunology, Microbiology, Pathogen Biology, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Candidates should be responsible, self-motivated, attentive to detail, have a strong command of English, and possess a strong publication record demonstrating the ability to use bioinformatic platforms in life-science research. Proficiency in at least one programming language, such as R, Python, C, or C++, is required. Applicants should demonstrate expertise in multi-omics analysis, particularly single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, including processing and interpretation of multi-omics, single-cell and spatial datasets. Hybrid candidates with computational skills and hands-on molecular or virology experience are particularly encouraged, although pure computational biologists are welcome.

How to apply

Apply online through the University of Hong Kong application portal. Upload an up-to-date CV, two reference letters from academic supervisors, preferably including the Ph.D. supervisor, and supporting documents such as academic transcripts, publication list, research experience, and representative outputs.
