【Job Vacancies】Our ITF project is hiring 15 Talents

The HKU-iLab successfully secured a competitive grant entitled "BIM Square": Blockchain and i-Core-enabled Multi-stakeholder Building Information Modelling Platform for Construction Supply Chain Management in Hong Kong. We are now offering several Post-Doc Fellow (PDF), Ph.D., and Research Associate/Research Assistant (RA) positions with a very competitive salary.

01

 Background

As a vibrant industry in a resource-limited city, construction in Hong Kong is highly relied on construction logistics and supply chain management (CLSCM). Almost every piece of construction materials and components must be sourced from outside suppliers and transported back to congested sites in Hong Kong. The CLSCM attracts much more attention from multiple stakeholders, mostly as more expensive assets such as complex precast components and Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) units are shipped every day. The importance of CLSCM, therefore, can never be overemphasized. The local universities and the industry have collaboratively developed a world-renowned reputation by embracing the latest technological solutions to CLSCM, e.g., BIM + IoT solutions for CLSCM. However, persistent problems on trust and interoperability of information, e.g., related to quality assurance, provenance, traceability, compliance, and efficiency, are challenging the extensive and profound impact of such solutions.
