About this position
The University of Hong Kong is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Department of Real Estate and Construction within the Faculty of Architecture. The department has an international research and teaching profile in real estate and construction, with particular strength in the built environment.
The postdoctoral researcher will work on a project in urban entrepreneurship, developing mathematical models of the relationships among start-ups, property developers and urban planners within a spatial-equilibrium framework. The project combines urban economics, real estate economics and computational modelling to investigate how these actors interact across urban space.
The appointee will apply mathematical and computational modelling techniques, contribute to data collection and analysis, and assist with the preparation of research reports. The role offers an opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary team led by Professor Kelvin Wong, Dr Alex Shi and Dr Jintao Ke. Their expertise spans real estate economics, urban economics and transportation engineering, supporting collaboration across the Department of Real Estate and Construction and the Department of Civil Engineering.
The position is suited to a researcher interested in urban systems, spatial equilibrium, equilibrium sorting, mathematical economics and data-driven analysis in the built environment.
