[交流] (UTA) Ph.D. Position in Computational Materials Science

Dr. Ye Cao’s research group in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) has one Ph.D. position opening starting Fall 2022. Dr. Cao’s group is broadly interested in multiscale modeling in understanding materials structural and property relationships, and designing new materials and structures. His current research focuses on electronic materials, ferroelectric oxides, and energy storage materials.

The research project of this opening is to understand the mechanical tunability in ferroelectric membrane and heterostructure. The student will work on developing a phase-field model and performing phase-field simulations. He or she will also work closely with experts in materials synthesis and characterization.

Dr. Cao joined MSE at UTA as an Assistant Professor in 2017. Before that, he worked as a postdoc at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with Dr. Sergei Kalinin. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University, under the supervision of Prof. Long-Qing Chen.

Preferred Qualification:
• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, chemistry or related disciplines;
• A strong motivation in research and a strong commitment to hard work;
• Knowledge of physics/materials sciences, and interests in computational science are preferred. Experiences and skills in programming is not required, but highly preferred;
• GRE is not required. TOFEL or IELTS is required for international applicants.

About UTA:
The University of Texas at Arlington is a public research university in the University of Texas system. The university is one of the eight universities in Texas, which are classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity” based on Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. UTA is ranked 80th in Best Engineering School, and 80th in Materials Science and Engineering Program based on the U.S. News & World Report (2021).

UTA is located in Arlington, a city in the Dallas − Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan area. It is the largest metropolitan area in Texas and the 4th largest in US. Many big companies, such as AT&T, Texas Instrument, ExxonMobil etc. are located in DFW area, and many more are moving to this area, offering numerous job opportunities. It also features a relatively lower living cost compared to the east and west coast. There is nonstop flight from DFW international airport to many major cities in the world, including Beijing and Shanghai in China. All these making DFW area an ideal place for studying, living and working.
