We are currently recruiting 2 Ph.D. students in the field of computational materials science at the University of Manitoba, Canada.

Main Research Direction: (1) Position 1 will focus on the structure, thermodynamics and/or kinetics of grain 
boundaries in metals; (2) Position 2 will focus on the design and characterization of high-entropy steels. Both 
positions will use atomistic simulations and machine learning as the main tools. 

Supervisor: Dr. Chuang Deng (https://scholar.google.ca/citations?hl=en&user=k62IEhQAAAAJ)

Fellowship: $25000 CAD/year 

Requirements: 
The candidate should
1) hold a M.Sc. degree in Materials Sciences, physics, mechanical engineering, or a related field;
2) have good communication skills (both writing and oral) in English；
3) have strong interests in atomistic simulations (MD, DFT, Monte Carlo, etc.) and machine learning. Previous 
experience in these fields is not required but highly desired;
4) have good programming skills (python, C, Fortran, etc.).

Application Procedure: 
1) Interested students please send a copy of the official transcripts, a C.V.,
