Looking for prospective PhD student

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UNC Charlotte is seeking a highly motivated Ph.D. student to join a new NSF-funded project in computational and applied mathematics, beginning Fall 2026.

The project focuses on developing mathematical frameworks and numerical algorithms for coarse-grained dynamics and materials defect modeling, bridging stochastic analysis, multiscale modeling, and computational materials science. The successful candidate will collaborate with Dr. Xingjie Li (https://sites.google.com/site/xingjiehelenli) at UNC Charlotte and Dr. Thomas Hudson (https://sites.google.com/view/thudso/) at the University of Warwick (UK), with opportunities for an international research visit.

How to Apply

Interested applicants should contact Dr. Xingjie Li (UNC Charlotte) at [xli47@charlotte.edu] with the following materials:

1. CV/resumé

2. A brief statement of personal and research interests and relevant coursework

3. Contact information for at least two references

Qualified candidates will be invited for a short Zoom interview. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
