BS (Shandong Univ.), PhD (Univ. of Michigan), Postdoc (Cornell)

• Jun 2017 - Jun 2023, Postdoctoral Associate, Cornell University, U.S.. with Dr. Peng Chen in the Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology.

Dr. Bing Fu received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Shandong University in China and obtained her PhD from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, U.S. (2017) in the group of Prof. Julie Biteen, where she studied the light-matter interactions between plasmonic nanomaterials and fluorogenic probes. She was then a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University in the group of Prof. Peng Chen, focusing on live-cell super-resolution and multifunctional imaging. Dr. Fu started her independent career as an Assistant Professor in CityU BME since July, 2023.

Position Description and Requirement:

1. PhD students

The candidate will work closely with the principal investigator to design and implement experiments to answer unknown scientific questions. The students will gain extensive training on cutting-edge fluorescence microscopy and other optical imaging techniques; molecular biology, genetic engineering, and other biochemical skills; image analysis and computer coding. There will also be many collaboration opportunities with other BME research groups. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct experiments under the PI’s supervision, perform data analysis, present results at international conferences and publish in high-impact journals.

Requirements: A bachelor’s or master’s degree in related fields, including but not limited to physics, biophysics, biology, chemistry, biochemistry, bioengineering, etc. The benefit package includes a stipend of at least HK$18,800 per month (~US$26,764) for 4 years and health insurance, and there are many opportunities to apply for fellowships, such as the HKPFS (https://www.cityu.edu.hk/pg/hong-kong-phd-fellowship-scheme). Applicants who are interested or already submitted the application for PhD program are all welcome to contact Dr. Fu for more information. See https://www.cityu.edu.hk/bme/prg-phdmphil.htm for the PhD program application process.

How to apply: Interested applicants should submit a cover letter describing your research experience and interests, Curriculum Vitae, and transcript. Please send these to Dr. Bing Fu at [email protected], indicating “PhD application + Name” in the subject line.

2. Postdoc

The candidate should have obtained or will soon obtain a PhD degree. The candidate will collaborate with the PI to develop scientific projects, conduct experiments and explore the frontiers of research. Priority will be given to candidates with research experience in the following areas: familiar with Matlab data and image analysis, single-molecule super-resolution techniques, optical imaging and instrument building, research related to microbiology, semiconductors and bio-inorganic interface, etc.

How to apply: Interested applicants should submit a cover letter describing your research experience and interests, Curriculum Vitae, transcripts and 1-3 representative publications.  Please combine the above materials to a single PDF and send to Dr. Bing Fu at [email protected], indicating “Postdoc application + Name” in the subject line.
