2021 Fall PhD position in Multiscale Modeling at University of Alabama

A PhD position is available as early as Fall, 2021 in Dr. Ning Zhang's group at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa). This position is in the general area of mechanics, structural and multifunctional materials with focus on mechanical and thermal properties.

The research topics include:
(1) Hypersonic flight materials;
(2) 2D materials;
(3) Shape memory ceramics/alloys;
(4) High entropy alloys;
(5) Biomaterials.

Highly self-motivated students with background in mechanical engineering, materials science, engineering mechanics, solid mechanics, civil engineering or related area are encouraged to apply.
PhD students in Dr. Zhang's group will be involved in first principle calculations (e.g., DFT), molecular dynamics simulation, and phase field modeling.

Interested applicants should send an email to Dr. Ning Zhang (nzhang20@eng.ua.edu) with your resume, cover letter, GRE, TOEFL or IELTS scores if applicable.
