Ref.: 534998 Work type: Full-time Department: School of Biomedical Sciences (22600) Categories: Senior Research Staff & Post-doctoral Fellow Research Assistant Professor in the School of Biomedical Sciences (Ref.:534998) Professor Guoping Fan’s lab invites applications from highly motivated and experienced postdoctoral researchers for a Research Assistant Professorship. This position is ideal for ambitious scientists seeking to transition to independent research leadership while contributing to cutting-edge, interdisciplinary projects at the intersection of AI Virtual Cell modeling, Epigenetics, and Stem Cell biology. Research Focus for This Position We are particularly interested in candidates who can integrate AI-driven virtual cell approaches with experimental epigenetics and stem cell platforms. Potential projects include: Developing AI/multimodal models (e.g., integrating single-cell omics, spatial transcriptomics, epigenomics, and proteomics) to simulate virtual neural stem cells or organoids. Investigating epigenetic regulation (DNA methylation, histone modifications) in stem cell fate decisions, reprogramming, and disease modeling using AI predictive tools. Combining computational virtual cell frameworks with wet-lab validation in human iPSC-derived neural models, organoids, or in vivo systems. Exploring translational applications, such as AI-guided mRNA therapies or precision modeling of neurodevelopmental disorders. This role offers the opportunity to lead independent projects, mentor students, secure external funding, and publish in top-tier journals while benefiting from the lab’s expertise and resources. Requirements PhD in Biomedical Sciences, Bioinformatics, Stem Cell Biology, Epigenetics, Computational Biology, or a closely related field. At least 3–5 years of postdoctoral experience with a strong publication record (first-author papers in high-impact journals preferred). Demonstrated expertise in at least two of the following areas: AI/machine learning for biological modeling (e.g., virtual cell, foundation models, graph neural networks, or multimodal omics integration). Epigenetics (DNA methylation, chromatin analysis, single-cell epigenomics). Stem cell research (iPSC culture, differentiation, organoids, neural models). Experience with CRISPR, organoid technology, or mRNA therapeutics is a plus. Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary setting. Excellent communication skills in English.  What We Offer The appointment will commence as soon as possible on a 3-year fixed-term basis, with the possibility of renewal subject to satisfactory performance and funding availability.  A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered. The appointment on fixed terms will attract a contract-end gratuity and University contribution to a retirement benefits scheme, totaling up to 15% of basic salary. Other benefits include annual leave, medical benefits and free access to on-campus gyms and libraries. How to Apply The University only accepts online application for the above post. Applicants should apply online at the University’s careers site (https://jobs.hku.hk) and upload (1) Cover letter outlining research interests, relevant experience, and fit for the position (2) an up-to-date C.V. including full publication list (3) Contact information for 3 references (4) 1–2 page research proposal on how you would integrate AI virtual cell approaches with epigenetics/stem cells in the lab. Review of applications will start from April 30, 2026 and continue until October 29, 2026, or until the post is filled, whichever is earlier. The University is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to equality, ethics, inclusivity, diversity and transparency
