Frequently asked question: 

Q: Is there an available PhD position?
A: I always accept highly motivated PhD students, if you can secure a scholarship (or you can be self-financed). All potential candidates are suggested to apply for NPGS, SINGA, etc. Generally speaking, the RSS is of very limited amount and thus competitive.
