Postdoctoral fellow, Ph.D. students, master students, and visiting students/researchers positions at KAIST

The Kang Group for Bioinspired Extreme Materials is looking for outstanding candidates to join the group. We have openings as below. Due to the large volume of applications received, we will contact only those selected for interviews. Thank you for your understanding.

Postdoctoral Fellow

One postdoctoral fellow position is available in the area of bioinspired materials with focus on experimental aspects. 

Interested individuals should have a Ph.D. in related disciplines. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of our research, researchers with backgrounds in all disciplines of engineering and science including materials science & engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical and biomolecular engineering, biomedical engineering, civil engineering, electrical & computer engineering and physics are strongly encouraged to apply.

We are looking for a person with strong motivation, publication record, analytical and interpersonal skills and integrity with expertise in the area of bioinspired materials and structures, architected materials, smart materials, or macro/micro/nanofabrication including 3D printing. The term of the appointment is one year with possible renewal.

If interested, please send a cover letter, a curriculum vitae with contact information of 3 references, 2-3 representative publications and a 3-5 page research plan to Prof. Kang by e-mail at shkang2024@kaist.ac.kr for consideration.

Ph.D. Students

One to two research assistant positions for Ph.D. students in the area of bioinspired materials and structures are available.  

The ideal candidates are highly motivated and creative individuals with solid foundations in materials science and engineering and strong communication/interpersonal skills.

Interested students should get admission from the graduate program in the Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering at KAIST. The admission decision is made by the department, not by an individual faculty. 

If interested, please send a curriculum vitae with 1-2 references and a brief description of research interest to Prof. Kang by e-mail at shkang2024@kaist.ac.kr and apply for graduate admission at KAIST.
