【Invitation】2023 Three-Minute Thesis Competition (3MT)

A call out to all graduate students: Are you ready to step out of your lab and showcase to the world the impact of your groundbreaking research? If so, we invite you to participate in the 7th 3MT@NTU competition and demonstrate your academic presentation skills.

 

The 3MT has been a game-changer for countless contestants. Not only has it helped many of its contestants secure internship opportunities, but the experience gained in participating in the 3MT has also enabled numerous contestants to win outstanding poster presentation awards at international conferences. What’s more, the 3MT has also helped past winners gain recognition from prestigious universities and innovative leaders in various industries.

 

The 3MT Competition, an international research communication event, founded by the University of Queensland, has grown into a global phenomenon. With over 900 universities, including such prestigious institutions as the University of Cambridge, NYU, the University of Hong Kong, and many others from more than 85 countries, this event has made a significant impact and created many success stories worldwide.

 

In 2015, NTU became the first authorized 3MT organizer in Taiwan. Starting from the 3rd 3MT@NTU, the participation of NTU Triangle Alliance – NTU, NTNU and NTUST, has further enhanced opportunities for scholarly exchange and interdisciplinary dialogues. For contestants, this platform has ignited their enthusiasm for taking the stage and showcasing their excellent public speaking skills. Today, this competition has expanded to all universities across Taiwan. Winners of this competition not only receive cash prizes but also have the opportunity to shine on the international stage, bringing honor to their institution.

 

In the last 3MT@NTU, the contestants represented a diverse range of backgrounds: 9 nationalities, 10 universities nationwide, 14 academic disciplines, and a total of 152 contestants participating in the event. This year, with the support of the NTU EMI Teaching and Learning Center, the Academic Writing Education Center (AWEC) at NTU will continue to extend invitations to graduate students from universities across Taiwan, giving students the chance to share their brilliant research in a clear and easily accessible manner. Let’s spark more creative ideas through this sharing and communicating of exciting research.

 

To effectively enhance your academic presentation skills, the AWEC will offer two Presentation Strategies Seminars before registration begins. This is an excellent opportunity for all participants to refine and polish their presentation skills.

Postdoctoral research fellow position: at NYCU / Taiwan-USAF Program

Postdoctoral research fellow position: “Study the ultrafast dynamics of magnetic topological critical materials” at the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) / Taiwan-USAF Program

  • JOB DESCRIPTION:
    The Quantum Matters Physics and Ultrafast Dynamics group (Prof. Chih-Wei Luo and Prof. Jiunn-Yuan Lin) at NYCU, Taiwan, has an opening for a one-year postdoctoral position (and maybe extendable). In this project, you will perform experiments to study the ultrafast dynamics of magnetic topological critical materials with pump-probe spectroscopy under low temperature, high magnetic field and high pressure. Topics of interest include electron dynamics of a Weyl semimetal. Ultimately, the goal is to connect spectroscopic transient absorption and reflection measurements with simultaneously tunable pressure, magnetic field, and temperature techniques, in order to alter the degrees of magnetic fluctuations, and study the corresponding electronic, spectroscopic, and transport phenomena due to exotic Weyl physics.

 

  • REQUIREMENTS:
    You have (or will receive in near future) a PhD degree in physics, physical chemistry, electrical engineering, or a closely related subject. You enjoy performing experiments and analysis to stepwise build a deeper understanding of complex physical mechanisms. Experience in one or more of the involved topics (pump-probe spectroscopy, ultrafast lasers and optics, vacuum instrumentation, femtosecond science, high-pressure techniques) is required. Good verbal and written communications skills (in English) are required.

 

  • CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT:
    A postdoc position is intended as full-time appointment in the service of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan for the duration of 1 year. The postdoc salary will be in accordance with NYCU regulations for academic personnel, and depending on experience, range from a minimum of NTD 58,920 per month up to a maximum of NTD 82,485 per month based on full-time-employment.

 

  • TIMELINE:
    While flexible, preferred start dates are between June 2023 and September 2023 or as early as possible. The positions will remain open until filled.
  • APPLICATION:
    Applicants should send an email to Esther (estherchang@nycu.edu.tw ):
    1. briefly detailing their research experience, interests and career plans;
    2. with an up-to-date CV as attachment.
