Open Positions

I am actively recruiting highly motivated and creative students and researchers to join my group. We are an interdisciplinary team working at the intersection of computational solid mechanics, machine learning, and uncertainty quantification. If you are passionate about creating innovative algorithms and computational methods and pursuing high-impact research, I encourage you to reach out to me at: bahador[dot]bahmani[at]northwestern[dot]edu
Postdoctoral Researchers
  • I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in scientific machine learning.
  • I am also glad to support strong candidates applying for external fellowships, including the postdoctoral fellowship programs at Northwestern's Trienens Institute, such as AI4Energy. Fellowship applications take time to prepare well, so if you are considering one, please reach out early rather than close to the deadline.
When you reach out, please include:
  • One representative paper
  • CV
  • A list of people who can write you letters of recommendation
  • One paragraph describing your research goals
Ph.D. Students
  • I am always actively looking for motivated Ph.D. students to join the group.
  • If you are interested, you are encouraged to contact me between October and December.
  • You can also apply directly to the Mechanical Engineering (ME) or Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (TAM) program at Northwestern and list me as a potential advisor.
Please include the following in your email:
  • CV
  • Transcripts (unofficial)
  • A short statement of research interests
  • English proficiency scores (if applicable)
Undergraduate and Master's Students
If you are a current student at Northwestern and are interested in gaining research experience in computational mechanics and/or machine learning, please feel free to reach out. We have several ongoing projects that you can contribute to, and we are also open to co-designing a new research project that excites both you and our group. You are welcome to stop by my office to discuss opportunities, or you can email me a short paragraph about your research interests along with your CV or resume.
