  • Design, develop, and fabricate soft interconnects and encapsulation strategies for stretchable electronic devices, emphasizing long-term operational stability.

  • Explore novel materials and topological interface designs to enhance mechanical robustness and electrical reliability under cyclic deformation.

  • Integrate stretchable conductors and encapsulation layers into functional systems such as wearable healthcare monitors and hybrid electronic platforms.

  • Assist in grant writing.

  • Maintenance of lab or equipment or supplies that include procurement and liaison with suppliers.

  • Assist or produce high quality reports and documents that consolidate research findings

  • Publish research findings in high-impact journals and present at international conferences.

  • Contribute to the mentoring and guidance of junior researchers and students, fostering an environment of learning and innovation within the project team.

Job Requirements:

  • PhD in materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering, or related field.

  • 4 years of relevant experiences in soft robotics preferred.

  • Expertise in flexible and stretchable electronics, interconnection, and encapsulation strategies.

  • Strong background in stretchable conductors, interface engineering, and hybrid electronics integration.

  • Proficiency in materials characterization, mechanical/electrical testing, and device system integration.

  • Experience in thermal protection encapsulation, modulus engineering, or bio-inspired nanocomposites is advantageous.

  • Good written and oral communication skills.

  • Capable of design and assemble of device prototypes.

  • Candidates with publications in top-tier scientific journals are preferred.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
