VinUniversity is offering prestigious Assistant Professorships (VAP) for exceptional early-career researchers in STEM, AI, Data Science, Business Intelligence, and related fields. This program is designed to attract global talent to join a dynamic, entrepreneurial academic environment in Vietnam. VinUniversity is committed to research excellence, innovation for society, and building a world-class institution by 2030. Successful candidates will benefit from a fast-track faculty career, substantial start-up research grants (up to USD 1,000,000 for STEM, USD 500,000 for other fields), and the opportunity to hire up to two fully funded PhD students (scholarships valued at USD 200,000 each). Faculty receive dedicated lab and office space, access to advanced research infrastructure, and comprehensive support for grant applications and research administration. Applicants must hold a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree obtained in or after 2019, with a strong record of high-impact publications and research excellence. The program seeks candidates capable of leading independent and collaborative research of international significance. Clinician scientists in translational or clinical research are encouraged to apply. Both new external applicants and VinUni faculty (not Full Professors) who joined within the last 12 months are eligible. Existing VinUni faculty may apply only once. To apply, candidates should prepare a cover letter, comprehensive CV (including publication list and impact factors), research statement, detailed research project proposal, and contact information for three external referees. Applications must be submitted online; incomplete applications will not be considered. VinUniversity faculty members highlighted in the program include Phan Manh Huong (Materials Science), Pham Huy Hieu (AI, Data Science, Digital Healthcare), Le Duy Dung (AI, Data Science, Product Management), Kumar Vikrant (Sustainable Technologies), and Saeid Sanei (Engineering, Technology Leadership). The university fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation, and a vibrant academic community dedicated to mentoring the next generation of leaders. This is an outstanding opportunity for early-career researchers seeking substantial research support, global impact, and career advancement in a world-class academic setting.

VinUniversity in Hanoi, Vietnam, is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) to join a cutting-edge project in seizure EEG analysis, focusing on epilepsy and neuromodulation. The position is based in the College of Engineering & Computer Science and is supervised by Professor Saeid Sanei, a leading expert with affiliations to King's College London and Imperial College London. The research aims to develop intelligent systems for automatic localization of seizure networks, translating scalp to intracranial EEG data, and ranking surgical targets to predict outcomes for epilepsy patients. The project builds on over 20 years of collaborative research with UK epileptologists and leverages unique datasets from King's College London Hospital. Key research areas include advanced and adaptive signal processing, machine learning, bioengineering, and neuroscience, with a strong emphasis on biomedical engineering applications. The successful candidate will work closely with both engineers and clinicians, collaborating with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience (IoPPN) at KCL. The objectives are to delineate seizure propagation networks, relate scalp-EEG features to intracranial markers, rank candidate resection/ablation targets, and estimate patient response probabilities to neuromodulation. Applicants must hold a PhD in Signal Processing, Machine Learning, or Bioengineering, and demonstrate expertise in advanced signal processing techniques (such as array processing, multiway signal processing, and sparsity), machine learning, and seizure EEG analysis. Proficiency in English is required. The position offers a salary commensurate with experience and is provided as a service contract. VinUniversity is a rapidly growing institution with international collaborations and a dynamic research environment, offering opportunities to connect with leading research institutes and pioneering companies within the Vingroup ecosystem. Interested candidates should review the full job description and apply by contacting Prof. Saeid Sanei at [email protected]. The application deadline is April 30, 2026. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews.
