Vacancy:

1. Research positions: I recruit Postdoctoral Fellow in the area of structural health monitoring (SHM) from time to time. Those with good research track record (top university, good publications, etc.), please contact me and attach a CV including academic background, list of publications, and some representative publications.

2. PhD Research students (RS): I recruit RS (including HK PhD Fellowship) each year without any advertisement. PolyU has two PhD schemes. One is the normal one (Scheme 1) having a monthly stipend of about HK$18100 (~US$2330). The tuition fee is currently HK$3500 per month. The other scheme is HK PhD Fellowship (Scheme 2), which offers a monthly stipend of HK$26600 (~US$3430) with tuition fee waived. The latter is definitely more difficult to secure (I have two succeeded). Those top students who are interested in doing research, please write emails to me and attach a simple CV including the English language results and academic transcripts (including GPA). I receive a number of queries about the applications every year and may not respond all of them immediately. Below gives some general information for reference:

. Admission requirements particularly the English language can be found at http://www51.polyu.edu.hk/eprospectus/rpg/admission-requirements. Other information is also shown on that website. Information of Scheme 2 can be found at http://www.polyu.edu.hk/ro/hkphd-fellowship/.

. The main criteria of both schemes are: reputation of the universities that the applicant graduated and academic results of the applicant (particularly GPA).

. To maximize the number of HK PhD Fellowship, Dept. requires that those for Scheme 1 should apply for Scheme 2 as well. The deadline of the application for Scheme 2 is normally early of December each year. a) The shortlisted by the Dept. and PolyU will be announced in subsequent Jan. These candidates are guaranteed Scheme 1. The shortlisted applications will be submitted to central and the results are released in about March. b) Those not shortlisted will go to Scheme 1 then. The results of Scheme 1 may be released from Jan. to May, which may vary from year to year.

. Those haven.t applied for Scheme 2 have lower priority in competing Scheme 1.

. The admission date is early Sept. in general.
