Openings
Recruit Ph.D. Students
Yang's group plans to recruit two more Ph.D. students in Fall 2024 and Spring 2025.
Position I: The applicant is expected to have research experience on either growth of metallic nanowire arrays using electrochemical approach or fabrication of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials through chemical vapor deposition or solid state reaction.
Position II: The applicant is preferred with the research experience on fabrication, assembly, and testing of lithium/sodium ion batteries or solid-state batteries.
We prefer candidates having or being about to obtain a master’s degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering.
If having interest, applicants with such research experience and solid records are highly encouraged to share CV with Dr. Yang (sending email to yingchao.yang@missouri.edu). Your application materials will be carefully evaluated in a timely manner. Offered students will receive full research assistantship support.
Language and GPA Requirements: TOEFL 80 /IELTS 6.5, GRE, and GPA 3.0 or better.
Hire Postdoctoral Fellows
Yang’s group is hiring two postdoctoral fellows.
Position I: The postdoc fellow will focus on fabrication of high-entropy nanomaterials. The applicants are preferred with solid record on either fabrication of 2D materials, transfer, and exfoliation, or synthesis of high-entropy bulk ceramics.
Position II: The applicant is expected to have a great record in fabrication, assembly, and testing of lithium/sodium ion batteries or solid-state batteries.
If you have interest, please combine your CV and two representative publications into a PDF file and then send to yingchao.yang@missouri.edu. Your application materials will be carefully evaluated in a timely manner.
Recruit Undergraduate Students
Yang's group plans to recruit several undergraduate students in Spring and Summer 2024. The main research topic can be chosen from the growth of metallic nanowire arrays using electrochemical approach, fabrication of bimetallic and trimetallic nanostructures, synthesis of metal organic frameworks (MOFs), metal doping into carbon, and aligning 1D nanostructures via 3D printing method. Undergraduate students with such research interest are highly encouraged to talk to Dr. Yang on Mizzou campus. Dr. Yang's office is located at Lafferre Hall C3213. Offered students will receive research assistantship support following the Mizzou policy.
The University of Missouri has world-class research facilities, including one Titan TEM, one Cryo TEM, one conventional TEM, three SEM/FIB, and three SEM. Additionally, the Materials Science and Engineering Institute has comprehensive material testing equipment. For more information about the University of Missouri, please visit: https://missouri.edu/. Our research group collaborates closely with several teams in Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Students have the opportunity to participate in scientific research at these national laboratories. We welcome students with strong motivation, hands-on skills, and high expectations in research to contact me and join our research group.
