你好，很开心你能看到这份略带私人性质的招生广告！我的名字叫仇霁申，我将于今年秋天开始在香港科技大学土木与环境工程系的助理教授工作。我的研究主要着眼于开发新的建筑材料，进而能让未来的建筑变得更环保和智能。

如果你加入我的团队，你会在以下几个方面有不错的收获：
• 你将是我的第一批学生（第一个或第二个），因此你会深度参与一个科研团队的初创，这些经验对你毕业后的职业发展至关重要（事实上我也是我导师的第一名博士生，这让我获益良多）；
• 你会接受细致而严格的学术/科研训练，在过去8年中，我指导了超过10名本科生和硕士生的科研工作，其中40%将他们的工作发表在了很棒的期刊上，例如Cement and Concrete Research，Cement & Concrete Composites；
• 你有机会在几个新的且受广泛关注的建材子领域开展工作，例如生物混凝土，自愈合技术，低碳材料等；
• 你有机会接触理论研究、实验工作甚至实际工程项目（在稍远一点的将来，如果你有兴趣）；
• 你有机会进行交叉学科的研究（土木+生物/材料/化学）；
• 你会在一个氛围健康、平等包容的团队中学习和工作（博士是一段充满挑战和压力的旅程，我希望能尽力帮助学生应对它们）。

关于我对于新的学生的要求和期望：
• 工程与科学学科本科或以上学历（土木工程、材料工程、机械工程、工程力学等）
• 对事物旺盛的好奇心，不仅限于科研方面；
• 与你的同学相比，你有更扎实力学、物理和数学基础；
• 过硬的动手能力；
• 一些科研经历；
• 你不需要满足以上每一条。

最后，尽管学术界越来越倾向于招生已经拥有硕士学位的同学，但我自己非常欢迎本科毕业生来参与竞争。如果你有兴趣，请通过电子邮件联系我，并附上你的简历和简短的个人自述（英文，请勿超过一页）。联系方式：qiujishen@gmail.com (九月正式入职后会更新至科大的电子邮箱)。

Hi there, I am so happy that this non-official ad has reached you! My name is Jishen Qiu; I will start my job as a tenure-track assistant professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of HKUST in the coming fall. My research engages sustainability and smartness in the future infrastructures, by developing novel construction materials, such as self-healing/bio concrete.

You may learn about me and my work through links:

You may find admission requirements of postgraduate programs and scholarships through links:
http://www.ce.ust.hk/programs/pg_requirement.html (CEE admission requirements)
https://pg.ust.hk/prospective-st ... enerous-scholarship (HKUST scholarship)

A few good reasons to join my group:
• You will be one of the first students (the first or at least the second, to be more specific), it means you will be deeply involved in the starting-up of a research team, which could be crucial in your future job search (actually I was the first student of my advisor, I believe I learned extra in this role);
• You will receive rigorous academic/research training so you can work independently after you get the degree; in the last 8 years, I mentored over 10 undergraduate/master students in their lab work, 40% of which got their results published in top civil engineering journals like Cement and Concrete Research and Cement & Concrete Composites;
• You will have access to research topics of high impact, like bio-concrete, self-healing concrete, CO2 sequestration;
• You will work on both theoretical and experimental projects; in the future, possibly application-oriented projects (if that’s your career interest);
• You will be a part of interdisciplinary collaboration (civil engineering + biology/materials science/chemistry);
• It is my goal to build an open and healthy working environment for the team (PhD can be a stressful journey, it’s an advisor’s duty to help out).

Some requirements and expectations on you:
• Bachelor degree or above in civil engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering mechanics etc.
• Strong curiosity on things, not only for natural science, but also for other areas
• Well-above-average performance in mechanics, physics, and math
• Handy, quick learner in lab
• Some research experiences
• You don’t have to fulfill every criterion above

Last but not the least, I will not over-emphasize on the competitive edge from a master’s degree, prospective bachelors are equally welcome to apply. You may reach me at qiujishen@gmail.com (it will be updated to a HKUST email address after I officially start in September); please include your CV and a brief personal statement (no more than one page).
