About this position

Northeastern University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate for the Bendable Electronics and Sustainable Technologies (BEST) Group in Boston, Massachusetts, led by Professor Ravinder Dahiya.

The BEST Group develops sustainable materials and resource-efficient printed electronics on flexible substrates, with the aim of changing how sensors and electronic devices are designed and manufactured. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to multidisciplinary projects involving high-mobility materials, transient and degradable electronics, sensors, circuits, energy devices, micro/nanofabrication, nanowire synthesis, and technologies for printed electronics.

Research applications include tactile sensing, haptics, electronic skin, robotics, wearable systems, and interactive systems. The role may also involve simulation, cleanroom fabrication, electronic-device characterization, system-level integration, and haptic feedback for real and virtual agents.

The researcher will work as part of an interdisciplinary team and may supervise graduate students. They will also contribute to scientific publications, research proposals, and the management of complex projects within Northeastern’s research environment.

Funding details

Full-time postdoctoral employment with an expected hiring salary range of $59,423.00–$83,934.50. Northeastern University states that benefit-eligible employees receive a comprehensive benefits package including medical, vision, dental, paid time off, tuition assistance, wellness and life benefits, retirement, and commuting and transportation benefits.

What's required

Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in a related engineering or science discipline. Candidates should have a strong foundation in several relevant areas, such as high-mobility-material printed electronics, transient electronics, degradable materials, micro/nanofabrication, nanowire synthesis, printed-electronics technologies, tactile sensing and haptics, or electronic skin for robotics and wearable systems. Experience with simulation tools such as multiphysics finite element analysis, Matlab, or LabView, cleanroom work, and electronic-device characterization is required. Experience with system-level integration, haptic feedback, proposal preparation, and project management is advantageous. Candidates must demonstrate the ability to plan, execute, and manage research activities, including mentoring and supervising. Excellent interpersonal, communication, documentation, time-management, and organizational skills are essential. Applications should include a letter addressing the selection criteria, a curriculum vitae, one print of a prior scientific publication, and contact information for 3–5 references.

How to apply

Apply through the Northeastern University careers website. Submit a selection-criteria letter, CV, one print of a prior scientific publication, and names and contact information for 3–5 references.
