About this position

Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Hong Kong in the School of Biomedical Sciences.

This is a full-time postdoctoral opening in synthetic biology, immunology, vaccinology, molecular biology, bioengineering, computational biology, and artificial intelligence, with a strong biomedical focus. The project involves collaborative research on vaccine development and cancer treatment, including mRNA-LNP vaccine design, immune regulation by IL-10, vaccine responses against Staphylococcus aureus and other pathogens, and single-cell/computational analysis of vaccine-induced immunity.

Successful applicants should hold a Ph.D. degree in one of the listed fields or a related discipline. The post also asks for strong experimental, analytical, writing, and communication skills. Helpful experience includes mRNA/LNP vaccine development, cancer immunotherapy, bacterial infection models, mouse work, flow cytometry, cytokine profiling, single-cell RNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and AI-assisted biomedical data analysis.

The appointee will be expected to work both independently and collaboratively, contributing to experimental design, molecular cloning or mRNA construct preparation, vaccine formulation and evaluation, cell-based assays, animal experiments, immune profiling, data analysis, manuscript writing, and presentation of findings. There may also be opportunities to assist with grant preparation, student supervision, and collaborator coordination.

Funding details indicate a highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience, plus annual leave and medical benefits. The appointment is initially for one year, with the possibility of renewal depending on performance and funding availability.

Applications must be submitted online through the HKU careers portal with an up-to-date CV. Review of applications starts on 2026-10-27 and continues until 2027-01-13, or until the position is filled.
