发帖数: 187 | 1 Dr. Zi Chen (currently at Washington University in St. Louis and will start
a tenure-track position at Dartmouth in 2015) is looking for prospective PhD
students to start in 2015. Visiting or postdoctoral positions may also be
available for highly qualified candidates. A successful candidate will work
on one or multiples of the following topics: mechanics of morphogenesis in
plants/embryos, fast motion of plants (e.g., the Venus flytrap's rapid
closure), mechanical self-assembly and instability of thin structures (e.g.,
DNA, plant tendrils, self-assembly of nanostructures, etc.), and
bioinspired structures.
The candidate should have a BS or MS degree in Mechanical Engineering,
Engineering Mechanics, Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science
and Engineering, or any related field, with outstanding academic records.
Full financial support will be provided with competitive stipends and
benefits. Dr. Zi Chen strives to provide a stimulating, interdisciplinary
environment with exciting research topics and excellent colleagues where the
candidates can be trained to become outstanding independent researchers,
with sufficient freedom to explore their own ideas while working on well-
designed projects.
Outstanding candidates (prospective PhD students, visiting students, or
postdocs) interested in this position shall contact Dr. Zi Chen ASAP http://taberlab.seas.wustl.edu/index.php/zi-chen at c****[email protected], with the current CV and the contact information of at least two references. The positions remain open until filled.
Dr. Zi Chen is the first Society in Science – Branco Weiss Fellow from
China and currently a Research Scientist in Department of Biomedical
Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Chen received a
bachelor’s and master’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering from
Shanghai Jiaotong University, and a PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering from Princeton University under Dr. Mikko Haataja and David J.
Srolovitz. He was also a visiting scholar in Dr. Clifford Brangwynne’s
group at Princeton. His postdoctoral supervisor is Dr. Larry A. Taber at
Washington University.
Dr. Chen’s research interests cover such diverse topics as mechanical
instabilities of materials, energy harvesting devices, stretchable
electronics, biomimetic materials/devices, nanofabrication, mechanics of
morphogenesis in biological systems, mechanical feedback mechanisms in
biology, DNA mechanics, dislocation dynamics, and phase transitions. Dr.
Chen has received a number of prestigious awards including Society in
Science – Branco Weiss fellowship, Outstanding Paper Award at the ASME
Global Congress on NanoEngineering for Medicine and Biology (NEMB), American
Academy of Mechanics Founder's Award, MRS Graduate Student Award Silver
Award, etc. He has published more than 20 papers in reputable journals such
as Physical Review Letters, Nanoscale, Soft Matter, Applied Physics Letters,
Europhysics Letters, Physical Review B, Journal of Mechanics and Physics of
Solids, and Birth Defects Research Part C: Embryo Today. He is a also
founding co-Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Postdoctoral Research, and an
editorial board member of Journal of Applied Mechanical Engineering and
Journal of Material Science & Engineering.
Dartmouth College is a private Ivy League research university located in
Hanover, New Hampshire. The US News ranking is consistently in the top 10
category. The Princeton Review ranked Dartmouth third in its "Quality of
Life" category, and sixth for having the "Happiest Students." CNN and Money
magazine rated Hanover the sixth best place to live in America in 2011, and
the second best in 2007. Hanover was ranked as the best college town in 2014
http://www.movoto.com/blog/top-ten/best-college-towns/. Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth is by far the largest integrated School of Engineering in the United States. More noteworthy is the fact that the Thayer School of Engineering is going to double the size of faculty in the next decade.
