Postdoctoral Fellow

The gastric cancer molecular pathology and tumour microenvironment research group in the Department of Anatomical and Cellular Pathology invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position. The research group focuses on gastric cancer, cancer-associated fibroblasts, the Hippo-YAP1 signaling pathway, spatial tumour microenvironment, and translational therapeutic development.

Applicants should have (i) a Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Cancer Biology, Pathology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related discipline; (ii) solid experience in cancer research, molecular biology, cell biology, animal studies, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence staining, spatial omics, bioinformatics, or AI-assisted pathology; (iii) high motivation and commitment to scientific research; and (iv) the ability to summarise data, draft research manuscripts, and prepare grant applications. Experience in gastric cancer research, tumour microenvironment biology, cancer-associated fibroblast biology, organoid models, single-cell/spatial omics analysis, digital pathology, or computational pathology will be an advantage.

The appointee will work at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Shatin. He/She will be responsible for (a) conducting gastric cancer-related research projects; (b) designing and performing wet-lab and/or computational experiments; (c) analysing data and preparing manuscripts, conference abstracts, and grant applications; (d) collaborating with postgraduate students, research assistants, clinicians, and external collaborators; and (e) performing any other ad-hoc research tasks as assigned by the supervisor.

Appointment will initially be made on contract basis for one year, renewable subject to good performance and mutual agreement.

Applicants should submit the following documents in the online application: (1) a full curriculum vitae, including research experience, academic qualifications, publication list, technical expertise, and programming languages used, if applicable; (2) copies of academic certificates; and (3) reference letters.

Inquiries can be directed to the Principal Investigator, Dr. Bonan CHEN (bonanchen@cuhk.edu.hk) or Dr. KANG Wei (weikang@cuhk.edu.hk). For further details, please visit the department homepage at https://main.acp.cuhk.edu.hk/people/.

The University only accepts and considers applications submitted online for the post above via the CUHK career site. For more information and to apply online, please visit http://career.cuhk.edu.hk.
