Hong Kong

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) established the Division of Arts ad Machine Creativity (AMC) in July 2024 under the Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies (AIS), the fifth school of HKUST. As an interdisciplinary academic unit, AMC aims to be a leading center where technology, art, and humanities converge to drive creativity and innovation. We are seeking a high-caliber academic administrator to lead this new Division as the Founding Head.

The Role

Reporting to the Dean of AIS, the Founding Head will provide leadership and manage the Division's academic and administrative functions. Key responsibilities include advancing interdisciplinary teaching and research, faculty recruitment, and resource management. The Head will also develop strategies to promote the Division and facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration within HKUST and externally with arts organizations, as well as private, governmental, and non-governmental entities.

The Candidate 

Applicants should be distinguished scholars or artists with outstanding academic and/or professional accomplishments, consistent with an appointment as Full Professor with tenure or equivalent. While a background in the arts is preferred, expertise in art technology and other related areas will be considered. Prior administrative experience is highly desirable. Candidates should demonstrate proven leadership, managerial capabilities, experience in leading collaborative programs, and success in securing external funding. The ability to engage effectively with arts organizations, government, industry, and commercial sectors is advantageous.

The Division

The Division of Arts and Machine Creativity (AMC) is an interdisciplinary academic unit envisioned as a pioneering center where technology, art, and humanities drive creativity and innovation. This initiative fosters a fusion of innovation and humanities, supporting HKUST’s Strategic Plan 2031 as a major effort to expand academic frontiers through, aiming to lead positive changes in education and research, and empower the next generation to address global challenges.

The mission of the Division includes:


	Bridging the gap between technology and art, by providing students and researchers with professional education and robust environment.
	Cultivating artistic and creative talents equipped with the skills and knowledge to leverage emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning.
	Fostering a cross-disciplinary environment that empowers collaboration and innovation among artists and technologists.
	Developing cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research and education programs in partnership with other institutions in the fields of arts and machine learning


AMC’s focus areas include: (a) digital art practice (including visual, sound, performing, installation, cinematic arts); (b) machine creativity; (c) art management covering managerial, legal, and business topics related to AI arts, NFT, etc.; and (d) critical studies examining art history, media theory, and philosophy of technology in the context of arts and machine creativity.  The Division will offer graduate degree programs, including MA and MFA programs, as well as MPhil/PhD programs. It will also provide common core courses for all undergraduates at HKUST, and potentially undergraduate programs in future. The Division will collaborate with the Computational Media and Arts Thrust of HKUST(GZ) to advance scientific research in artificial intelligence in generative creativity and machine creativity.

The University

Founded in 1991, HKUST is a world-renowned international research university dedicated to the advancement of learning, research, scholarship, and the education of a new generation of elite students through top-tier programs in science, engineering, business & management, humanities & social science, and interdisciplinary studies.

POSTDOC POSITION IN ADVANCED COATING OF LFP MATERIALS – IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO, CANADA 12772

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to explore advanced coating techniques for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) materials. This role focuses on developing cutting-edge solutions to enhance the performance of LFP batteries, with a particular emphasis on advanced material coating strategies.

The project addresses the growing need to improve the surface properties and stability of LFP materials, especially under high-performance applications. Traditional methods for coating and stabilizing LFP cathodes often face limitations in durability and electrochemical efficiency. This research aims to overcome these challenges by applying innovative coating techniques using polymer- and nanomaterial-based coatings. These advanced coatings will enhance not only the chemical and thermal stability of the LFP materials but also improve their electrochemical performance, surface area, and selective permeability.

The successful candidate will investigate methods to coating active materials, such as nanostructured coatings, to protect the LFP particles while optimizing their performance in high-energy-density applications. The coated LFP materials should exhibit superior mechanical and chemical resilience, ensuring that the coatings maintain their structural integrity during industrial-scale operations.

Key research areas include:

Developing novel polymer- or nanomaterial-based shells to coat the LFP particles

Enhancing the surface properties of the coatings to selectively permit ion diffusion, increasing the electrochemical performance while reducing unwanted reactions.

Ensuring that the coated LFP materials remain stable under high-voltage and cycling conditions typical in energy storage applications.

Focusing on scaling these advanced materials for industrial applications, from traditional battery technologies to more innovative energy storage systems.

This position will contribute to the next generation of LFP-based batteries, improving their safety, efficiency, and overall performance for sustainable energy storage solutions.

Job Description :

The successful candidate will carry out duties to the highest standard and will:


	Undertake original research of international excellence.
	Develop research objectives and proposals for own and/or collaborative research projects.
	Publish papers in leading journals and present research findings at national/international conferences, workshops, and meetings to effectively disseminate the results and contribute to successful research outputs.
	Communicate the development, progress and results of research activities to the team, Communicate the development, progress and results of research activities to the team to ensure that relevant information and issues in the implementation of projects/experiments are captured in as comprehensive and timely manner as possible.
	Establish collaborative links with the core scientific personnel in related program areas to gain exposure to and build knowledge on experimental/research activities and approaches, in order to improve conceptual development and industrial implementation.
	Identify areas of improvement within the research structure using integrated management approaches in pursuit of capacity building/strengthening and the preservation of scientific rigor in research studies.
	Support if required, the development of proposals for research funding.
