Applications are invited for:-

Department of Biomedical Engineering

Research Assistant Professor 

(Ref: 2400031X)

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is a widely accepted top institute in Asia (e.g. ranked #6 in 20025 QS Asia University Rankings) with a high degree of global academic reputation (e.g. ranked #36 in 2025 QS World University Rankings). The Faculty of Engineering at CUHK is famous for its research in optics and photonics, dating back to the early 1970s when Prof. Charles Kao (2009 Nobel Laureate in Physics) joined CUHK. Our BME department is the newest department in the Faculty of Engineering, but it has already grown into global academic excellence (e.g. world #11 in 2024 Shanghai Ranking of Academic Subjects - Biomedical Engineering) and consistently ranked No. 1 in Hong Kong.

We are inviting applications for the post of Research Assistant Professor (RAP) in the Biomedical Engineering department to engage in a project related to label-free super-resolution light microscopy for in vivo biomedical imaging applications.
