FACULTY OF SCIENCE
Department of Biology
Research Assistant Professor (PR0002/21-22)
The appointee is expected to work on a collaborative research
project of Prof. Yiji Xia and Prof. Zhiling Yu for studying
functions of the nicotinamide adenine diphosphate-capped
ribonucleic acids in gene regulation in eukaryotic and prokaryotic
organisms. The nicotinamide adenine diphosphate cap is a newly
discovered non-canonical ribonucleic acids cap, but its function in
gene regulation remains enigma. We have developed new methods for
analysing it and are studying its molecular and biological function
in transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation (Zhang et al,
2019, PNAS; Shao et al, 2020, Nature Protocols; Zhang et al, 2021,
PNAS; Hu et al, 2021, PNAS). He/She will also engage in some
teaching duties.

and https://scm.hkbu.edu.hk/en/expertise/detail/expertise_11.html
for more details of the research.
Applicants should have a PhD in Biology or related disciplines,
with strong publication record in ribonucleic acid biology,
biochemistry / protein chemistry, epigenetic control, cancer
biology, molecular microbiology, or genome-wide analysis /
bioinformatics. They should be highly motivated.
Initial appointment will be offered on a fixed-term contract of 3
years. Re-appointment thereafter will be subject to mutual
agreement.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and
experience.
Application Procedure:
Applicants are invited to submit their applications at the HKBU
e-Recruitment System (jobs.hkbu.edu.hk). They should request two

months after the closing date may consider their applications

samples and scholarly/creative works will be disposed of after the
completion of the recruitment exercise. Details of the University’s
