Potential Ph.D. Candidates
A message for students interested in joining our lab and pursuing a Ph.D. Candidature under Luke Fryer.
First, potential students must have the background necessary to apply for a Hong Kong Postgraduate Fellowship(HKPF). Applying for an HKPF will automatically put you in the running for several other Hong Kong University Scholarships. Two points are central to having a chance at these scholarships:
1. Having an undergraduate degree from a top International (top-100) or National University (top-1-2% in the country) with excellent marks.
2. Having a graduate degree from a top international university (top-100) with excellent marks.
Second, you need to have questions that are relevant to our aims as a lab.

Potential Ed.D. Candidates
A message for students interested in pursuing Ed.D. Candidature with our lab. Alex Shum will be your primary supervisor. Luke Fryer is available to act as a co-supervisor.
First, applicants to our labs must be interested in pursuing research. While Ed.D. applicants often have a practitioner focus, applicants to our lab should be prepared to work and aim to have similar research output as Ph.D. candidates.
Second, you need to have questions that are relevant to our aims as a lab.
​
Third, an undergraduate degree in mathematics (including statistics), science, or psychology would be a strong asset in the application.

Potential PostDocs
A message for PostDocs interested in joining our lab for a year or two. There are annual calls for PostDocs at HKU. If what we are doing interests you and you are nearing the end of your Ph.D. get in touch for a chat before you finish up. Two critical factors for a successful application are the international ranking of your Ph.D. institution and the quality/quantity of outputs from your candidature.
