[交流] Advert for 3 year PhD, Liverpool UK (China)

A fully funded 3 year PhD studentship starting in 2022, to be awarded a PhD degree by the University of Liverpool UK and based in 苏州Suzhou. This is a joint PhD studentship between Institute for Smart Liquid Crystals (SLiC)省产研院智能液晶技术研究所 and Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University (XJTLU). Graduate entrance exam考研 is not needed. Successful completion of this programme could lead to worldwide career opportunities in academia and high-tech industrial sectors like software, R&D, biomed, robotics and smart manufacturing alike.

Scholarship:
The PhD scholarship is available, covering tuition fees for 3 years (RMB 80,000 per year) and living expenses with a monthly stipend of RMB 5,000.

Supervisors:
Drs Jiuzhi Xue, Chen Xuan, Richard Potter.

Project Description:
This project studies liquid crystals on both the microscopic and macroscopic levels.
When suspended in a solvent, nanoparticles with anisotropic optical and dielectric properties may be manipulated by an external electric field to control the light propagation through the suspension. On the microscopic level, the proposed work will focus on a dichroic nanorod system, where nanoparticles absorb light differently depending on the relative angle between nanoparticles and the polarization of light, to study the optical, structural, and dynamic properties of the suspension, its response to the application of an electric field, and the relaxation dynamics upon the removal of the applied field.
On the macroscopic level, liquid crystals can form liquid crystal polymers/elastomers/gels when crosslinked to a polymeric network. We will study the deformation of such liquid crystal polymers in response to force, heat, light, electric field etc. The proposed work will be mainly based on continuum mechanics and finite element analysis.

Requirements and Nice-to-haves:
1. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in physics, mechanics, optics, maths, engineering, materials etc.
2. Experience in theoretical physics/continuum mechanics.
3. Experience in computational physics/mechanics/maths (with ANSYS/ABAQUS/COMSOL, MATLAB/C++, MATHEMATICA etc).
When unsure about your eligibility just ask via email:

How to Apply:
Email both jiuzhi.xue@jitri-lci.com and chen.xuan@liverpool.ac.uk your 1.CV (including courses learnt)+2.theoretical or computational physics/mechanics projects for initial assessment. Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed.

Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University (XJTLU):
We are the result of a historic partnership between Xi’an Jiaotong University and the University of Liverpool. Our location in Suzhou Industrial Park, China’s equivalent of Silicon Valley and a hub of global innovation, means our students have numerous internship opportunities and access to job positions. By May 2020, our global community of more than 17,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students (around 3,500 of whom are studying at the University of Liverpool through the 2+2 programme), and nearly 1000 academic staff (50% international) is continually growing, offering you the chance to make connections with people from across the world. All our degree programmes are taught 100% in English. In 2019, 86.50% of our graduates planned to continue their studies in world-renowned universities, while others get jobs with major companies in China, UK and around the world.
