香港中文大学Prof. Dai 课题组全奖博士招生

School of Biomedical Sciences (SBS)/Institute for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (iTERM), The Chinese University of Hong Kong

The Chinese University of Hong Kong, an internationally ranked and top tier university in Asia, has established the Institute for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (iTERM; https://www.iterm.cuhk.edu.hk/). In 2022, iTERM will also establish a joint collaboration with the world renown Karolinska Institute to further research on neuromusculoskeletal restorative medicine.

Prof Dai Fei Elmer Ker’s lab (https://ker-lab.weebly.com/) located at iTERM/SBS is now inviting applications for postdoctoral fellow(s) and research assistant(s). We are seeking qualified candidates to participate in exciting musculoskeletal research, including (1) Bioactive biomaterialsfor vascularized muscle tissue engineering; (2) Functionally-graded approaches towards reducing suture tearing through soft tissues.

Prof. Ker’s Bio:

Prof. Dai Fei Elmer Ker is an Assistant Professor in the Institute for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine and School of Biomedical Sciences at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He completed his B.S. in Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Sydney, his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, and his postdoctoral training at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford University. His research interests include musculoskeletal biomaterial development and computer vision-based cell tracking. His research and commentaries have been published in prestigious journals and conferences such as Advanced Functional Materials, Biomaterials, European Conference on Computer Vision, Medical Image Analysis, Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, NPG Asia Materials, Scientific Data, Stem Cell Research Therapy, and Science.

Qualities: 

Applicants should be highly motivated and independent with relevant research experiences in biology, biomedical sciences, bioengineering or artificial intelligence research, are preferred. Also, applicants must be fluent in English, well organized, and possess good critical thinking and scientific writing skills.

Responsibilities:

Vascularized muscle tissue engineering project: The research duties will involve biomaterial development and characterization, cell culture experiments, and biomaterial implantation into a chronic animal model of muscle injury.

For functionally-graded approaches to project: The research duties will involve finite element analysis, biomaterial fabrication, mechanical testing, and implantation of biomaterials into animals.

In addition, some training of junior research colleagues and lab management is mandatory. 

Training: 

Candidates can also expect to receive mentoring and training that aid them in achieving towards their career goals and aspirations. Please note that the language of instruction will primarily be in English.

Application and Appointment: Applicants should submit application online, including CV and contact information of three references. Reference letters can also be sent to elmerker@cuhk.edu.hk. Email subject heading should be: Postdoctoral Fellow/RA/PhD application_your name. Appointments for postdoctoral fellows and research assistants will be made on a contract basis for one year and renewable subject to mutual agreement.
