Jihong Ma's blog

Multiple PhD positions are available for Fall 2024 in the Department of Physics or the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Vermont in Dr. Jihong Ma's group. Successful candidates will work under the supervision of Prof. Jihong Ma on projects related to atomistic simulations of polymers. The candidates should have a strong background in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and preferably have experience in MD and/or MM simulations. 

Dear Colleagues,
The deadline for the IMECE abstract-only submission (07/16/2024) is approaching quickly and we would like to invite you to submit your abstract to the "Advances in Soft Material Modeling" topic. This topic is organized by me (Jihong Ma at the University of Vermont), Professors Hossein Salahshoor at Duke University, Nikolaos Bouklas at Cornell University, Shawn Chester at New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Aditya Kumar at Georgia Institute of Technology.

A tenure-track Assistant Professor position is now open in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Vermont (UVM).

Updates:

*Applicants can also apply through our UVM Department of Physics to get a PhD in Physics!

One NSF-funded Ph.D.

Applications are invited for a doctoral research position immediately available (also open to Summer 2022, Fall 2022, or Spring 2023) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science Graduate Program at the University of Vermont. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Prof.

One fully-funded Ph.D. position is now available immediately in the area of computational nanomaterials in the group of Dr. Jihong Ma (https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/jihong-ma-group/home?authuser=0) at the University of Vermont.

A postdoc position is available in the area of computational polymeric nanomaterials in Dr. Jihong Ma's group (https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/jihong-ma-group/home) at the University of Vermont starting September or October 2020. This project will involve close collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

Dear colleagues,

The Society of Engineering Science (SES) 57th Annual Technical Meeting will be held at Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, September 28-30, 2020 (https://ccaps.umn.edu/SES).

Multiple PhD positions are now available in the department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Vermont starting Fall 2020. Successful candidates will be under the supervision of Dr. Jihong Ma. Dr. Ma’s research focuses on understanding the physical properties of materials with complex structures at multiple scales (from nano- to macroscale) via a combination of theoretical analysis, numerical simulations and experimental characterizations. The goal is to uncover or enhance material performance characteristics for industrial, medical, and aerospace applications.
