Position Available

We look forward to welcoming highly self-motivated and competitive students and scholars to join us. Our research focuses on bioinspired materials, including:

  • bioinspired structural strengthening and toughening (bio-material structure-property design, mechanics and mechanical modeling, and fabrication), and
  • bioinspired ion-transport control (natural phenomenon analysis, bioinspired functional materials for anticorrosion, energy, and life sciences). 

Relevant background would be great, but strong potential with great dedication is also very appreciated. Anyone interested in positions of postdocs, research assistants, and PhD students are encouraged to send your CV (specifying Bachelor’s university and GPA/Averaged marks) and a brief introduction to Bin WANG at bwang55@cityu.edu.hk
