The applicant should hold a Ph.D. degree in experimental condensed matter physics or a closely related discipline and have at least four years of relevant research experience in nano-fabrication (including e-beam lithography, lift-off, etching, etc.), van der Waals assembly, and low-temperature/low-noise electrical measurements. The candidate is expected to demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, be able to work both independently and as part of a team, and be self-motivated and responsible.
The successful candidate will work on a project related to quantum transport in van der Waals–engineered 2D materials in the group of Prof. DongKeun Ki. They will design, optimize, and maintain research instruments, experimental setups, and laboratory facilities, and are expected to produce high-quality original research suitable for publication in leading peer-reviewed journals. The role also includes supervising, mentoring, and training PhD students and research assistants, as well as contributing to related academic and administrative duties. A highly competitive salary remuneration commensurate with the appointee’s qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits.
The University only accepts online application for the above post. Applicants should apply online and upload an up-to-date C.V. They should also arrange 2 referees to send reference letters to Prof. Dong-Keun Ki by e-mail (dkki@hku.hk) directly. Review of applications will commence as soon as possible and continue until June 30, 2026, or until the post is filled, whichever is earlier.
Start date: mostly September 1
Deadline: December 2 every year (main round)

We invite applications for Ph.D. position(s) in the areas of experimental mesoscopic quantum physics. Highly motivated students will have an opportunity to work on various projects in our group, such as quantum coherence and correlations effects in graphene and 2D materials, van der Waals engineering of the new quantum properties, as well as Perovskite thermoelectrics. The students will also have chances to present their results in international conferences. For more information, please visit the research section or contact PI (dkki@hku.hk) at any time.
Candidates are invited to apply directly on line (link) or send (1) a CV including a brief description of research experiences (if any) and (2) a motivation letter that explains why he/she is interested in the group by e-mail to Dr. DongKeun Ki (dkki@hku.hk).
Start date: any
Highly motivated undergraduate or graduate students are always welcome to contact Dr. DongKeun Ki (dkki@hku.hk) at any time for the possible research projects.
