Ref.: 534202 Work type: Full-time Department: Department of Sociology (30400) Categories: Professoriate Staff Applications are invited for appointment as Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology (Ref.: 534202), to commence in January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter, on a three-year fixed-term basis with the possibility of renewal and consideration for tenure before the expiry of a second three-year fixed-term contract. The Department of Sociology was founded in 1967 as the first sociology department in Hong Kong. It is based within the Faculty of Social Sciences and encompasses sociology, demography, criminology, and anthropology, fostering an interdisciplinary approach to the study of social issues anywhere in the world. The Department has strong traditions in qualitative research, particularly ethnographic and participatory methods, and has expanded its expertise in quantitative research, social statistics and demography. The 2026 QS World University Ranking rated the Department the 24th among the world’s top 200 universities in the subject of sociology. The Department offers a range of innovative and engaging taught programmes, including undergraduate major/minor programmes in Sociology, Criminology, and Media & Cultural Studies. In addition to research postgraduate degrees, it also offers three taught postgraduate programmes in Sociology, Criminology, and Media, Culture and Creative Cities. Its faculty, research postgraduate students and post-doctoral fellows, are actively engaged in cutting-edge research and excel in producing excellent scholarly research in the social sciences. The Department is also home to the HKU Anthropology Research Network. Information about the Department can be obtained at https://sociology.hku.hk. Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in Sociology, Criminology, Anthropology or a related field, and demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence in research, teaching, and academic leadership. Those who are specialised in cybercrime and/or digital harm, with a research background on issues such as surveillance, digital victimology, misinformation, artificial intelligence and crime, and financial crimes (such as online fraud and money laundering) are particularly welcome. A solid research track record in complementing digital methods with theory-driven and empirically grounded work on these topics is an advantage. The appointee is expected to publish research, teach at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, supervise students at graduate and undergraduate levels, and take on service/administrative responsibilities. A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits. At the current rates, salaries tax does not exceed 15% of gross income. The appointment will attract a contract-end gratuity and University contribution to a retirement benefits scheme, totaling up to 15% of the basic salary. Housing benefits will be provided as applicable.  Applicants should apply online at the University’s careers site (https://jobs.hku.hk) and upload (1) a cover letter, (2) an up-to-date CV with the contact information of three referees, (3) graduate transcripts and certificates, (4) one writing sample, (5) a research plan (two pages), (6) a teaching statement (also two pages) and teaching evaluations, and (7) outlines of two proposed undergraduate courses. Review of applications will start as soon as possible and continue until July 1, 2026, or until the post is filled, whichever is earlier. 

Auckland campus This is a full-time fixed-term position based on Massey’s Auckland campus. About the role Odd-frequency superfluidity is a theoretically proposed but as yet elusive phenomenon. Rooted in the concept that fermions pair in time rather than space to develop superfluid or superconducting properties, it may either endow a conventional superfluid with novel properties or provide an unconventional pathway to superfluidity. Deep theoretical questions about the existence and stability of odd-frequency superfluids are still open and so far, only indirect and incomplete experimental evidence for the phenomenon is available in electronic materials. The postdoctoral fellow will examine existing and develop new quantum many-body models that show odd-frequency fermionic pairing correlations. A particular emphasis is on models that could be realised in experiments with ultra-cold atoms. Your main workhorse for the examination of the models will be quantum Monte Carlo simulations and you will contribute to developing the open-source codebase Rimu.jl, but other theoretical and numerical methods may be employed as well. The position is funded by the Marsden Fund of New Zealand through the research project “Unveiling hidden order in ultracold matter: The case of odd-frequency superfluidity”. The postdoctoral fellow will collaborate closely with the project leader Professor Joachim Brand and an international team of experts in condensed-matter theory, Monte Carlo simulations, and ultra-cold atom experiments. You will have the opportunity to help supervise a PhD student funded through the same project. The postdoctoral fellow will become a member of Te Whai Ao - Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonics and Quantum Technology, a national Centre of Research Excellence, and will enjoy access to the facilities and programmes of the Centre. Based at the New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study at Massey University’s Auckland campus, you will interact with a lively community of ultra-cold atom researchers in New Zealand and Australia and have access to high-performance computing facilities at Massey University and the national facilities of REANNZ. About you Applicants should have a PhD in theoretical or computational condensed-matter physics or a related field and publications in high-quality peer-reviewed journals. Previous experience with quantum many-body theory and the theory of ultra-cold atomic gases, as well as quantum Monte Carlo or general computational methods of theoretical physics will be an advantage. Experience and competency with scientific coding and high-performance computing is expected, preferably in the computer language Julia. What’s in it for you You’ll join a collaborative, international team of researchers including collaborators based in Wellington (NZ), the United States, and Germany. Based on Massey University’s Auckland campus, you’ll enjoy a supportive local work environment with a healthy work-life balance and access to campus cafés, gym facilities, and green spaces. You’ll also have opportunities to travel internationally to visit collaborators and present at international conferences. You will be a member of Te Whai Ao - Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonic and Quantum Technologies and participate in their activities. Additional benefits include up to 6.75% employer contribution to the UniSaver Superannuation Scheme, five university holidays each year in addition to annual leave, and a subsidised Southern Cross Healthcare plan for you and your whānau. The salary will depend on experience but will be in the range of $86,113 - $89,088. Term of contract Fixed-term of two years Applications close Tuesday, 02 June 2026.
