&lt;p&gt;I am hiring Master&amp;rsquo;s students to work in my laboratory. As I have just refurbished the laboratory from the previous professor, you will be getting a brand new workspace. I also inherited an optical laboratory and you will be working with it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 id="salary"&gt;Salary&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MSc students will be paid &lt;strong&gt;10,000 to 15,000 NTD per month&lt;/strong&gt; as a minimum. However, getting good results will increase your salary&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Acceptance of first author publications will increase your monthly salary by 500NTD, or more for high quality journals.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Actively improving your English will also be rewarded.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Contributions to publications of other NSYSU professors will also be rewarded (between 100-300NTD).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The NSYSU Physics department pays additional salary for marking undergraduate homeworks (as a teaching assistant) with salary depending on number of homeworks marked.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3 id="research-area"&gt;Research area&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will be working with ultra-fast (100 femtosecond) optical equipment. This will involve setting up optical experiments then analysing the results, thus you will gain a lot of experience programming optical equipment and aligning optics. The data analysis will be done either in Matlab, Julia or Python (no prior experience is required).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3 id="potential-overseas-exchange-to-the-university-of-warwick-uk"&gt;Potential overseas exchange to the University of Warwick, UK.&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a potential overseas exchange to the University of Warwick. The duration of PhD student&amp;rsquo;s trip to the UK will be from 3 months up to 1 year abroad.
&lt;img src="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/research/condensedmatt/ultrafastphotonics/emmasthzgroup/terabotics/people/emma_macpherson_2.jpg?" style="float: right; max-width: 23%; padding: 00px 00px 00px 10px"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is because I have an honorary researcher position at the &lt;a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/research/condensedmatt/ultrafastphotonics/group/rayko/" title="Rayko at the Warwick Ultrafast photonics group" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;University of Warwick&lt;/a&gt; so I have a connection there. In particular, it is with my previous postdoc supervisor &lt;a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/research/condensedmatt/ultrafastphotonics/group/emma/" title="Emma Pickwell-MacPherson" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Emma Pickwell-MacPherson&lt;/a&gt;. She is currently undertaking a work under a grant called
&lt;a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/research/condensedmatt/ultrafastphotonics/emmasthzgroup/terabotics/" title="Terabotics Programme Grant, Emma Pickwell-MacPherson" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Terabotics&lt;/a&gt;, and it focuses on developing Terehertz techonology for &lt;em&gt;in vivo early detection and improved treatment of cancer&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To have any chance of being approved by Emma, &lt;strong&gt;the candidate must choose a research path that will be useful to her&lt;/strong&gt;. In other words, the student will need to learn the fundamentals of Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and be familar with extracting the optical properties from Terahertz time-domain data. Further, being familiar with the biomedical aspect of in-vivo terahertz imaging of skin will also help, but it is not essential.&lt;/p&gt;
