The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (http://mie.njit.edu) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (http://www.njit.edu) has a fully funded Ph.D. position starting from Spring 2022. Interested candidates should apply as soon as possible.

Research Description:  The selected student will primarily work on Atomistic/Molecular Modeling and Machine Learning. He/she will be involved in different projects such as -                                    

Mechanics and electronic properties of nanomaterials: Different aspects of mechanics (e.g., Fracture, Friction) and electronics of various nanomaterials and their heterostructures: Graphene, Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMDC), MXenes, 2D/3D composites, etc.

Modeling of Energy Systems: Nanomaterials for Energy Storage and Conversion, e.g., Lithium-ion Battery.

The candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with experimentalists at NJIT and other institutions.

Candidate’s background: The position requires an undergraduate/master degree or equivalent within Nanotechnology, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Civil/Mechanical/Aerospace/Chemical Engineering.

Background in Machine Learning (ML), Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulation, Density Functional Theory (DFT) is preferred – but not essential. However, the candidate should have a strong interest in learning ML, MD, DFT.  

Funding: The position is fully funded.

Application: The interested candidates should email Dr. Dibakar Datta with CV.
