Professor Xu will join GTIIT, as an Associate professor of Guangdong-Technion Chemical Engineering program in Spring 2021. He was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering at University of Maryland Baltimore County from 2016 to 2020. He obtained his PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2013) and completed his postdoc training in the Stephanopoulos lab at MIT (2016).\r\n\r\nDr. Xu has received a number of awards and recognitions, including the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad (2012), the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Award (2018), the Biotechnology &amp; Bioengineering (B&amp;B) Daniel IC Wang Award (2020). He served in the editorial board for the journal <em>Metabolic Engineering<\/em> (IF = 7.3) and the journal <em>Current Opinion in Biotechnology<\/em> (IF = 8.3). Professor Xu published more than 65 journal articles with a google scholar citation of 3540 and an H-index of 28, on world-leading journals including <em>Nature Biotechnology, Nature Communications, Nature Chemical Biology, Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, Trends in Biotechnology, Metabolic Engineering, Biotechnology &amp; Bioengineering, Current Opinion in Biotechnology and ACS Synthetic Biology<\/em> et al.","position_job_benefits":"Our research group is focused on theoretical condensed-matter physics. The group is based in two countries: southern China (Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) and Israel (Technion). The PhD degree will be awarded by the Technion. This vacancy has arisen due to a recently awarded grant to the group leader, Dr. Ivan Savenko. We explore transport phenomena in novel two-dimensional materials (graphene, MoS2), with optics applications to these materials, exciton-polaritons, and superconductivity. We publish in top journals and collaborate with leading experimental groups. The PhD student will be provided with all conditions for living and working (competitive salary, encouraged participation in international scientific conferences at the group\u2019s expense - we cover travel expenses and an annual vacation trip). The student will spend part of the time in China and part in Israel. The group also funds education in both China and Israel.","position_base_salary-field-class":"","sort-position_date_posted":"sort-right-4","position_date_posted-custom-title":"","position_date_posted-hide-title":"off","position_date_posted-hide-field":"off","position_date_posted-field-tag":"div","position_date_posted-field-tag-title":"div","position_date_posted-field-class":"","position_valid_through":"","sort-position_valid_through":"sort-disabled-7","position_valid_through-custom-title":"Position","position_valid_through-hide-title":"off","position_valid_through-hide-field":"off","position_valid_through-field-tag":"div","position_valid_through-field-tag-title":"div","position_valid_through-field-class":"","position_pdf_export":"","sort-position_pdf_export":"sort-right-8","position_pdf_export-custom-title":"","position_pdf_export-hide-title":"off","position_pdf_export-hide-field":"off","position_pdf_export-field-tag":"div","position_pdf_export-field-tag-title":"div","position_pdf_export-field-class":"","position_apply_now":"Apply now","sort-position_apply_now":"sort-disabled-2","position_apply_now-custom-title":"","position_apply_now-hide-title":"off","position_apply_now-hide-field":"off","position_apply_now-field-tag":"div","position_apply_now-field-tag-title":"div","position_apply_now-field-class":"","sort-position_educationRequirements":"sort-left-4","position_educationRequirements-custom-title":"Selection Criteria","position_educationRequirements-hide-title":"off","position_educationRequirements-hide-field":"off","position_educationRequirements-field-tag":"div","position_educationRequirements-field-tag-title":"div","position_educationRequirements-field-class":"","sort-position_experienceRequirements":"sort-left-6","position_experienceRequirements-custom-title":"Contact","position_experienceRequirements-hide-title":"off","position_experienceRequirements-hide-field":"off","position_experienceRequirements-field-tag":"div","position_experienceRequirements-field-tag-title":"div","position_experienceRequirements-field-class":"","position_skills":"Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology\u00a0 \u00a0(GTIIT), China &amp; Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Israel.","sort-position_skills":"sort-right-5","position_skills-custom-title":"Location","position_skills-hide-title":"off","position_skills-hide-field":"off","position_skills-field-tag":"div","position_skills-field-tag-title":"div","position_skills-field-class":"","position_button":"How to Apply","sort-position_button":"sort-right-7","position_button-custom-title":"","position_button-hide-title":"on","position_button-hide-field":"off","position_button-field-tag":"div","position_button-field-tag-title":"div","position_button-field-class":"","position_button-url":"http:\/\/sites.gtiit.edu.cn\/research\/graduate-studies\/how-to-apply\/","position_button-url-target":"_blank","position_button-style":"primary-style","position_pdf_job":"","sort-position_pdf_job":"sort-disabled-5","position_pdf_job-custom-title":"","position_pdf_job-hide-title":"off","position_pdf_job-hide-field":"off","position_pdf_job-field-tag":"div","position_pdf_job-field-tag-title":"div","position_pdf_job-field-class":"","sort-position_custom_text_1":"sort-left-1","position_custom_text_1-custom-title":"Description","position_experienceRequirements":"Assoc.
