Vacancies at Mesoscience Center

Aug 24, 2018

I. About Us 

Mesoscience is considered as a general approach to tackle various complex systems in the real world with an unprecedented future. Successful models have been established in systems such as gas–solid fluidization, gas–liquid bubbly flows, and turbulent flows by making compromise between the competing mechanisms involved as mathematical multi-objective variational problems. There is an increasing amount of evidence for the applicability of the same principle in other systems such as granular flow, reaction–diffusion systems, and bio-macromolecules. Models and simulation methods based on this principle have shown great value in the design, optimization, and modulation of industrial processes and engineering. This promising field deserves much more awareness and attention from the scientific community for future development. 

The Mesoscience Center, located at the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), supported by CAS and the Chinese Association of Science and Technology (CAST), now is seeking candidates focusing on the research and case studies of Mesoscience related fields. Topic may include, but are not limited to, the following: 

Climate modeling, energy storage, material, CO2 cycle, granular flow mechanics, catalysis, multi-objective optimization/variation, reaction kinetics, reactor scale-up, protein dynamic structure, interfacial phenomenon, transition of metal to insulator, plasma-assisted process, cognitive science, and so on. 

Details can be found in the following:
