Open Positions
Zou Research Group (Laboratory for Extreme Mechanics & Additive Manufacturing) in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at University of Toronto (U of T) has several open positions for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and visiting scholars.
Research interests: Our group uses novel experimental, analytical, and computational tools to explore materials with extreme properties or under extreme conditions, particularly on metallic materials. We aim to bridge the gaps between metals, mechanics, and manufacturing (3Ms), covering many length and time scales. Among our research areas of interest are high-entropy alloys, nanomechanics, and additive manufacturing (3D printing). Of particular interest is to advance the fields of vital importance to the society, including aerospace, biomedical, electronic, environment, and energy sectors.


The PI: Dr. Yu Zou （邹宇）will join the MSE Department at U of T as an Assistant Professor in January 2018, after working as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT (USA). Before that, he received his doctorate, master, and bachelor degrees from ETH Zurich (Switzerland), McGill University (Canada), and Beihang University (China), respectively, all in materials science, and he was also a JSPS visiting scholar at Kyoto University (Japan). His research areas include physical metallurgy, nanomechanics, microstructural analysis, metal additive manufacturing and materials informatics. As the first or corresponding author, his work has been published in Nature Communications, Nano Letters, Acta Materialia, Scripta Materialia, Philosophical Magazine & Letters, etc (Google Scholar, Research Gate, ORCID).

Open positions: We are currently looking for highly motivated students and postdoctoral researchers who enjoy working in a collaborative environment to join our group starting in January, May, or September. We welcome researchers with backgrounds in materials science, mechanical engineering, physics, electrical engineering, and related fields, particularly in physical metallurgy, mechanics, and instrumental design. Current openings (with full scholarships) are listed below:  
•        Mechanical and thermal stability of nanostructured high-entropy alloys
•        In-situ mechanical testing at small scales and in extreme conditions
•        3D printing of titanium and magnesium alloys for aerospace and biomedical applications
•        Instrumental design for a laser 3D printing system
•        Machine learning for materials design and intelligent manufacturing

If you would like to join us, please contact Dr. Zou (yuzou@mit.edu valid till 12/31/2017) and include your CV, a brief statement (a short paragraph) of your interests related to our research, and examples of your recent work. Postdoctoral applicants also please attach your most important publications. Availability changes frequently according to project needs and funding; however, we are always ready to meet the most outstanding candidates from all fields and areas of expertise!
For graduate student positions, application deadline of U of T for Summer/Fall 2018 is March 1, 2018, but you are strongly encouraged to contact the above email address for the open positions several months before the deadline, because the positions may be filled before the deadline. Please make sure you meet the minimum admission requirements at U of T. For postdoctoral researcher and visiting student (scholar) positions, please contact by email for possible research projects and available fellowships as early as possible.
