  • AI-native;
  • Highly fluent with tools like Codex or Claude Code (or equivalents), and can leverage them to learn and solve new and complex problems rapidly;
  • Strong judgment, and can quickly evaluate what works, what doesn’t, and why; and

How to Apply

Applications are accepted exclusively online.  Applicants should submit their application via the University’s Careers site, including an up-to-date curriculum vitae (C.V.).  Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until January 31, 2027, or until the positions are filled, whichever comes first.

In addition to applying online, you can supplement by emailing your CV to junma@hku.hk.  In your material, demonstrate your AI-native capability in any way you think is effective (e.g., a short portfolio of AI-built projects, a small prototype, GitHub repo, etc.).  We value signal over formality.
