The Bai Group at Northeastern University invites applications for fully funded PhD and postdoctoral positions starting in Fall 2025. The research focuses on experimental mechanics, advanced materials, and their applications in soft robotics, energy storage systems, and human-machine interfaces. Successful candidates will join a multidisciplinary team combining theoretical and experimental approaches to explore multifunctional materials, fracture mechanics, and sustainable materials. Applicants for PhD positions should have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field, while postdoctoral candidates should have a PhD and a strong experimental background.
