Open Positions at the UBC CIRRUS Lab

Jump to information for: Postdoctoral Fellows, Prospective and Visiting Students, or UBC Students

I try my best to keep this page up to date with the latest opportunities in my lab, but occasionally may miss something. If you're interested in my team's research, please feel free to contact me even if you don't see what you're looking for on this page.

Postdoctoral Fellows

Strong postdoctoral candidates are encouraged to reach out to me to discuss potential opportunities.

Prospective and Visiting Students

1. Prospective Graduate Students

The application cycle for the September 2025 intake has concluded. I will update this page with information on the next application cycle closer to the deadline.

2. Visiting International Research Students

Talented students from outside Canada who are interested in conducting cutting-edge cloud computing research can join my lab as a visiting international research student. I've had the pleasure of hosting several visiting students in the past (e.g., from ETHZ and University of Tokyo), and they have made significant contributions to our research. Before reaching out to me to discuss such a possibility, please check the UBC VIRS page to ensure that you are eligible.

UBC Students (currently enrolled)

1. UBC Undergraduate Students

I welcome undergraduate students who are interested in research to join my group in various capacities. If you are passionate about projects in the cloud computing area and would like to get involved, feel free to shoot me an email with your CV and transcript. If your qualifications match our current needs, I will get back to arrange a chat to discuss potential opportunities.
These are the standard opportunities that always exist:
a. Work Learn International Undergraduate Research Awards (WL IURA): I have a position for Summer 2025 that will be open to apply for on UBC CareersOnline between March 10 to 26, 2025.
b. CPEN/ELEC 497: Undergraduate Research Experience Program (UREP) UREP is a great way for ECE undergraduates to get involved in research part-time during the academic year. Many students have contributed to our research through this program. You can find their names on our website, with many co-authoring top-tier research papers. The ECE Department provides tuition coverage of 1 credit of domestic tuition for this course.
c. CPEN/ELEC 499: Undergraduate Thesis

2. UBC ECE MEng Students

If you are interested in my area of research or have cloud-related projects in mind, feel free to reach out to me. You can do an EECE 597 project with me. The project list on the 597 page is not updated, so reach out to me directly if you want to explore this option. In Summer of 2024, two MEng students made valuable contributions to our research through this program.

3. Thesis-Based Graduate Students at UBC

Feel free to knock on my door (physically, or virtually through an email) to brainstorm ideas. Our team is always open to collaborations. Additionally, co-supervision may be possible even if your home department is not ECE.
