PhD positions at University of Connecticut (UConn)

Scholarship: Fully-funded
Degree: BS, MS
Nationality: International Students
Location: USA
Application deadlines:  Open


Scholarship Description:

This specific position is offered by the laboratory of computational material design in the department. GOAL of Research Lab: Multiscale and multiphysics modeling to computationally design advanced polymeric materials, with emphasis on energy absorption, sustainable energy solution and biomedical application, to provide scientific insights into their chemistry-structure-property-performance relationships. The research team will focus on the development of novel computational methods and apply these methods for extra-large scale simulations to access the experimentally unapproachable phenomena.

Available Subjects:

Engineering Mechanics, Civil Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related area.

Eligibility criteria:

  • A BS in Engineering Mechanics, Civil Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related area. MS with project experience and good publication is a plus.
  • Programming skills in MATLAB, Fortran, C/C++, or Python. Experience in parallel computing is a plus.
  • Experience in running molecular dynamics simulations and finite element analysis.
  • Broad knowledge of computational material science and polymer physics will be a plus.

Application Procedure:

Interested candidates should send a CV, transcripts, TOEFL/GRE scores and the contact information of at least three professional references to Dr. Ying Li at [email protected] .
