Lab Recruitment

We are actively recruiting postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate students with specialty in nanomaterials synthesis, nanobiomaterials, and biomedical engineering.

Please feel free to contact Sunhong Min (minsunh@korea.ac.kr) or Seongyeol Kim (seongyeolkim@korea.ac.kr) to ask any causal questions regarding the laboratory.

Please contact Prof. Heemin Kang via email (heeminkang@korea.ac.kr) for research and career interests.

우리 연구실에서는 "나노화학소재 합성", "나노바이오소재" "바이오메디컬공학" 중의 하나의 분야를 중점적으로 연구할 성실하고 열정적인 박사후 연구원, 대학원생 (석박사통합과정) 및 학부연구생 (3-4학년)을 모집합니다.

연구실 생활에 대한 궁금한 점이 있으면 연구실 대학원생들 (민선홍 학생 minsunh@korea.ac.kr 혹은 김성열 학생 seongyeolkim@korea.ac.kr)에게 편하게 연락하시면 됩니다.

연구와 진로에 관심있으면 고려대학교 신소재공학부 강희민 교수에게 heeminkang@korea.ac.kr로 연락해주시기를 바랍니다.
