Openings

Yang's group plans to recruit one Ph.D. student in Fall 2026.

Position I: The applicant is expected to have research experience on growth of dichalcogenides or hydroxides with deep knowledge on magnetism, electrochemical catalysis, FET, or photodetector based on the fabricated 2D or 3D materials.

We prefer candidates having or being about to obtain a master’s degree in Materials Science, Physics, 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.

Yang's group plans to recruit several undergraduate students. 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 E3414. Offered students will receive research assistantship support following the Mizzou policy.
