POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT at North Carolina A&T State University
Greensboro, NC 27411
POSITION: Ph.D. Assistantship
Applications are invited for a four-year Ph.D. studentship in
the area of computational and mathematical modeling of biomass
gasification. Biomass gasification is a conversion of organic based
carbonaceous materials into syngas through the process of partial
oxidation in a fluidized bed gasifier. Syngas may be burned directly
in gas engines, used to produce methanol and hydrogen, or converted
into synthetic fuel. The efficient and economic production of energy
from biomass and other renewable natural resources is necessary to
transform the U.S. energy industry to energy independence and
sustainability.
RESPONSIBILITIES: We are seeking a Ph.D. student for NSF funded
research project to develop mathematical model and numerical code
for biomass gasification modeling. FLUENT software will be used for
the numerical code development. The work is computational and
theoretical in nature but with important implications for advancement
of the gasifier design and operation, since the developed mathematical
model and computational code will provide a fast and powerful
prototyping tool for control, optimization of a biomass gasification
process.
QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants should have a Bachelor/Master Degree
either in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or other relevant
field. The candidate should be highly motivated, goal oriented.
Experience in mathematical and CFD modeling, solid background in
numerical methods and programming skills in fortran90 are essential.
Preference will be given to those who have previous experience in
computer programming and CFD modeling of turbulent flow with FLUENT
software.
UNIVERSITY: North Carolina A&T State University is an 1890 land-grant
university and a Carnegie doctoral/research intensive institution with
an enrollment of approximately 11,100 students. Greensboro, a
progressive city centrally located between Washington, DC and
Atlanta, GA, has a population of more than 200,000
residents. Well-known for its quality of life, the area's mix of
industry with schools and universities contributes to its economic
and cultural development and diversity.
APPOINTMENT DATE: We expect a successful applicant to start no later
than mid-August, 2013
CONTACT: Dr. Yevgenii Rastigejev,
Energy and Environmental Systems Ph.D. Program,
302 Gibbs Hall, North Carolina A&T State University,

Electronic applications are preferable.
Interested Individuals should send applications containing cover
letter, CV (which includes list of publications if any), the names
and contact details of at least three referees.

Условия обучения и работы максимально комфортные - стипендия выше чем в большинстве ВУЗов США, а нагрузка значительно меньше. Обеспеченность оборудованием >> 100% (например, только в моем личном распоряжении находится 3 рабочих станции Dell 2011 года выпуска, в соседнем кабинете стоит столько же бесхозных). Профессор русскоязычный, что гарантирует мягкий вход в англоязычную среду.
Для иностранцев проводятся бесплатные курсы английского языка как в группах, так и с индивидуальным тьютором. Имеются группы разного уровня - от начинающих до продвинутых. Состав групп достаточной интересный. Например, в моей группе есть представители Германии, Южной Кореи, Китая и Судана. На этих занятиях можно не только изучать язык, но и знакомиться с культурой разных стран.
В университете действуют Fraternities and Sororities (Alpha Phi Alpha, Beta Phi Epsilon и т.д.). Иногда по ночам любителей живой музыки развлекает местный marching band
Проводятся различные фестивали. Например, недавно был native american festival
Красивый кампус
В прошлом году церемонию вручения дипломов посетила Мишель Обама.
В городе ведется активная общественная жизнь:
Halloween
Holiday Parade
Independence Day Parade
