美国加州San Diego State University工学院机械系徐文武教授课题组招收材料学方向全奖博士研究生一名。课题组主页：(https://mmm.sdsu.edu/)

博士生入学时间为2023年夏或秋，学制一般为5年。免学费，另每年$23,376补助。欢迎对计算材料学以及材料微观结构表征感兴趣的学生加入我们课题组。尤其，有分子动力学模拟经验，具有较好的编程能力，以及使用过电子显微镜进行材料微观结构表征的给予优先考虑。

该研究项目主要是利用瞬时高强度电流脉冲研究开发一种新型的金属材料晶界结构重构的技术。博士研究生的主要任务是1）在本课题组已有的实验设备基础上，进一步完善技术路线和设备；2）选择2-3种具有代表性的金属体系，并对其进行晶界结构的改造；3）结合电子显微镜微观结构表征技术和分子动力学计算机模拟深入研究理解改造后的晶界结构和重构机理。

申请条件如下：
•        具有材料和物理相关专业的本科或者硕士学历
•        对实验研究和计算机模拟研究都感兴趣
•        英语：GRE (Quantitative 159; Verbal 153; Analytical Writing: 3.5)，并且TOEFL 80, IELTS 6.5, or PTE 58。

有意向的同学欢迎发送一份详细简历，并附上2名推荐人的名字和联系方式，以及不超过一页的个人简介和研究兴趣介绍到该邮箱wenwu.xu@sdsu.edu。请把所有文件汇合成一整个pdf再发送。

我们正在邀请感兴趣的同学进行电话面试。电话面试通过后，需要向学校提交正式的申请材料，所有必须的申请材料提交完成的时间截止为：2022年12月15日。

Welcome to apply for a funded Ph.D. student position with starting date in mid-August 2023!

1 Ph.D. position in the field of “Grain Boundary Engineering” at San Diego State University, San Diego, California, USA

One five-year Ph.D. position with starting date in mid-August 2023 is available in the Multiscale Modeling of Materials (M3) laboratory at the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at San Diego State University (SDSU), San Diego, California, USA, under the supervision of Dr. Wenwu Xu (https://mmm.sdsu.edu/) and a co-advisor at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). This position covers tuition fees ($10,473/year) and provides $23,300/year of stipend.

We welcome talented, self-motivated candidates with a solid background in materials science and engineering or closely related majors. Experience in Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, Programming (any languages), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) are highly desired.

The goal of this project is to develop a new strategy to manipulate the grain boundary (GB) structures of polycrystalline metals by using electro-nano-pulsing (ENP) processing – a new technique developed in our laboratory. You will conduct comprehensive testing of the ENP device and use it to engineer GBs of chosen metals, followed by TEM characterization of GB structures. Also, you will perform MD simulations to provide an in-depth understanding of the changes in GB structures under the ENP processing conditions. This project will involve extensive collaborations with groups at both SDSU and UCSD.

For consideration, applicants should possess the following (both) qualifications:

GRE (Quantitative 159; Verbal 153; Analytical Writing: 3.5)
fulfill either TOEFL 80, IELTS 6.5, or PTE 58 for applicants who did not earn a degree from an English-speaking university.

If you meet the above requirements and are interested in this position, please provide by email (wenwu.xu@sdsu.edu) a detailed CV, a short personal statement explaining your scientific and research interests (less than one page), and contact information for two referees in support of your application (all in one PDF document). The review process will start right away until December 15, 2022. You will be contacted for Zoom/Phone/Skype/In-person discussions if passed the screening process.
