PhD opening of soft matter simulation in NTU

KnightNTUUID: 3710223

There is a fully funded PhD opening in the group of Prof. Ni (http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/r.ni), in the school of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering in NTU. The project concerns the computer simulation on self-assembly of colloidal and polymer systems. The purpose of the project is to use computer simulation to design new materials for photonic applications, e.g. photonic crystals, meta materials, as well as biomedical devices, e.g. bio-sensor, bio-diagnosis chip, with close collaborations with experimental groups in Hong Kong, Singapore and Europe. For details about the project, please contact Prof. Ni (r.ni@ntu.edu.sg). We will offer internationally highly competitive remuneration and a multidisciplinary research environment.

The starting date of the PhD position is January 2017. Interested candidates please send your CV and a short description of yourself to r.ni@ntu.edu.sg. The candidate applying for the PhD position should have a bachelor/master degree in a related field by the beginning of the PhD study. The related fields would be physics, chemistry, materials, chemical engineering, (computational) mathematics, etc. The candidates having numerical experience are preferable.

Requirements:
TOEFL: > 88 or IELTS: > 6.0
GRE: V > 149, Q > 149, AW > 3.5, total GRE V+Q > 319.
If you couldn’t meet some of the requirements, we can try to justify to the graduate school for the admission.

Salary:
before qualify exam: S$2000
after qualify exam: S$2500
