Gibson Lab is recruiting one outstanding student to pursue a PhD in the School of
Biological Sciences at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). The PhD project will utilize
genetics to determine the identity and origin of different species imported to Hong
Kong. Most time will be spent in the laboratory at Kadoorie Biological Sciences Building,
but part of the research might involve surveys of markets in Hong Kong.

The student will start at HKU sometime between January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018.
The student will be living in Hong Kong, a dynamic city with high diversity of peoples,
cultures, and cuisines. Salary is approximately HK$15,000 (US$1930) per month. More
