Funded PhD and Postdoc Positions in Mechatronics and Reinforcement Learning in Surgical and Wearable Robots at New York University
The Biomechatronics and Intelligent Robotics Lab (https://haosu-robotics.github.io) at Tandon School of Engineering, New York University (NYU), is inviting applications for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows. We seek candidates with expertise in mechatronics, control, reinforcement learning, generative AI, computer vision, computer simulation for surgical and wearable robotics.
PhD students can be admitted in the 2026 fall semester and will receive tuition scholarships and stipends. Students are required to have TOEFL (or IELTS or Duolingo). PhD applications should be submitted to the Biomedical Engineering (BME) department at NYU. https://engineering.nyu.edu/admissions/graduate/how-apply. Applicants should assemble the following into a single PDF file: CV, list of publications, and up to three representative scientific papers.
Send applications to su.lab.robotics@gmail.com AND hao.su@nyu.edu. NYU PhD application deadline is December 1st. Postdoctoral fellows should hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field, and should demonstrate research leadership, along with excellent oral and written communication skills.
We publish in top journals such as Nature, Nature Machine Intelligence, Science Robotics, and IEEE Transactions on Robotics, IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics. Our lab is dedicated to translating fundamental discoveries into real-world applications and promoting technology transfer and entrepreneurship. Alumni from our group hold faculty positions in USA, Asia, and Europe, and work at leading companies including Apple, Amazon Robotics, Siemens, and Boston Dynamics.
