Career Opportunities

Founded in 1963, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is a forward-looking comprehensive research university with a global vision and a mission to combine tradition with modernity, and to bring together China and the West. The Department of Mathematics in CUHK has developed a strong reputation in teaching and research. Many of the faculty members are internationally renowned and are recipients of prestigious awards and honours. The graduates are successful in both academia and industry. The Department is highly ranked internationally, e.g., it is 41^st, 66^th and 63^rd in the 2022, 2023 and 2024 QS World University Rankings, and 51st, 42nd and 56th in the 2022, 2023 and 2024 US News Rankings, respectively.

The Department is now inviting applications for substantiable-track faculty posts at all the academic levels, one for algebra and related areas, one for general areas of mathematics (with priority on harmonic analysis/geometric analysis), and two in applied and computational mathematics, beginning in August 2025. Applicants should have (i) a relevant PhD degree in mathematics or related disciplines; (ii) an established track record in research, including publications; and (iii) a demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching.

Applicants should arrange at least 3 reference letters, 2 on research and 1 on teaching, to be submitted by the reference writers.

Appointment will normally be made on contract basis for up to three years initially commencing August 2025, which, subject to mutual agreement, may lead to substantiation or longer-term appointment later. Review of applications will begin on 1 December, 2024, and will continue until the positions are filled.
