标 题: 美国top15名校PhD全额奖学金机会(ME/MSE/BME)
发信站: 饮水思源 (2014年04月08日03:09:32 星期二)
Two PhD research assistant positions are available in Dr. Zi Chen's group at W
ashington University in St. Louis (starting dates negotiable--it is still poss
ible to expedite the addimission process for the Sep. 2014 enrollment, or the
candidates can start from January or March of 2015). Visiting or postdoctoral
positions are also available for highly qualified candidates. A successful can
didate will work on one or multiples of the following topics: mechanics of mor
phogenesis in plants/embryos, fast motion of plants (e.g., the Venus flytrap's
rapid closure), mechanical self-assembly and instability of thin structures (
e.g., DNA, plant tendrils, self-assembly of nanostructures, etc.), and bioinsp
ired structures.
The candidate should have a BS or MS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Enginee
ring Mechanics, Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science and Enginee
ring, or any related field, with outstanding academic records. Full financial
support will be provided with competitive stipends and benefits. Dr. Zi Chen s
trives to provide a stimulating, interdisciplinary environment with exciting r
esearch topics and excellent colleagues where the candidates can be trained to
become outstanding independent researchers, with sufficient freedom to explor
e their own ideas while working on well-designed projects.
Outstanding candidates interested in this position shall contact Dr. Zi Chen A
SAP (http://taberlab.seas.wustl.edu/index.php/zi-chen at chen.z@seas.wustl.ed
u, with the current CV and the contact information of at least two references.
The positions remain open until filled.
Dr. Zi Chen is the first Society in Science – Branco Weiss Fellow from China
and currently a Research Scientist in Department of Biomedical Engineering at
Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Chen received a bachelor’s and master
’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Shanghai Jiaotong Univers
ity, and a PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton Universi
ty under Dr. Mikko Haataja and David J. Srolovitz. He was also a visiting scho
lar in Dr. Clifford Brangwynne’s group at Princeton. His postdoctoral supervi
sor is Dr. Larry A. Taber at Washington University.
Dr. Chen’s research interests cover such diverse topics as mechanical instabi
lities of materials, energy harvesting devices, stretchable electronics, biomi
metic materials/devices, nanofabrication, mechanics of morphogenesis in biolog
ical systems, mechanical feedback mechanisms in biology, DNA mechanics, disloc
ation dynamics, and phase transitions. Dr. Chen has received a number of prest
igious awards including Society in Science – Branco Weiss fellowship, Outstan
ding Paper Award at the ASME Global Congress on NanoEngineering for Medicine a
nd Biology (NEMB), American Academy of Mechanics Founder's Award, MRS Graduate
Student Award Silver Award, etc. He has published more than 20 papers in repu
table journals such as Physical Review Letters, Nanoscale, Soft Matter, Applie
d Physics Letters, Europhysics Letters, Physical Review B, Journal of Mechanic
s and Physics of Solids, and Birth Defects Research Part C: Embryo Today. He i
s a also founding co-Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Postdoctoral Research, and
an editorial board member of Journal of Applied Mechanical Engineering and Jou
rnal of Material Science & Engineering.
