Note: Europe includes countries in the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

In early 2023, the European Union implemented a ban on seaborne imports of diesel fuel, commonly called gasoil, from Russia following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine the previous year. The ban reoriented trade flows as Europe imported more diesel from the Middle East and the United States rather than Russia. This summer, Europe’s increased reliance on imports from the Middle East, coupled with conflict-related disruptions to refineries and escalating geopolitical tensions, contributed to a tightened global diesel market.

Before the ban, Russia supplied a significant portion of Europe’s diesel imports, accounting for 50% in 2022, according to data from Vortexa. The 2023 ban on diesel imports from Russia led to a rerouting of

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.).
