Ph.D. Positions in Computational Modeling for Advanced Biomaterial Design
(Tuscaloosa, AL, USA)About Openings:
Dr. Zhao's group at the University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa, AL) is offering multiple fully funded Ph.D. positions for motivated and talented graduate students interested in cutting-edge research at the intersection of molecular simulation, machine learning, and mesoscale modeling in Spring 2025. Our research focuses on AI-assisted multiscale simulations to facilitate the rational design of bioinspired advanced functional nanomaterials.Current Projects include:Molecular modeling of biomolecule assembly for drug discovery/delivery.Mesoscale modeling of biopolymer-grafted nanoparticle assembly for advanced nanofabrication.Data-driven molecular design of biopolymers.Benefits:
Successful candidates will receive a highly competitive stipend, comprehensive health insurance, and access to excellent research facilities.Qualifications:
Applicants should hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field. While prior experience in computer programming, molecular simulation, lattice Boltzmann method, and machine learning is advantageous, it is not required. A strong foundation in materials science, chemical engineering, and mathematics is essential.Research Group:
Dr. Mingfei Zhao will join the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Alabama as an Assistant Professor in August 2024. The primary research focus of Dr. Zhao's group centers on utilizing multiscale modeling techniques to understand and manipulate biomolecule and particle self-assembly towards a diverse spectrum of applications, including nanofabrication, biomedical, biochemical, and bioengineering fields.Group Webpage:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/mingfei-zhao-3988b3116/The UA Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering is the fastest-rising chemical engineering program in the nation, according to U.S. News and World Report. Over the last five years, research funding in the department has increased by 260% and Ph.D. enrollment has increased by 88%.In case you are curious about our location, Tuscaloosa is a beautiful city with a very mild climate and a low cost of living. It is about a 4-hour drive to the gulf coast where you will find some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Birmingham is the largest neighboring city (1-hour drive), with a population of approximately 1 million residents.If you need more information about The University of Alabama and life on our campus, please visit:
