Current Employee – been working at Hong Kong Polytechnic full-time for less than a year

Pros – interesting research topics are available. Excellent office equipment makes paper work no longer a headache

The positions are relatively competitive; although research industry does need experience, it is in greater need of creativity and innovation, and these qualities are not a privilege of old staffs ----- fresh graduate can perform as good as experienced researcher.
