In January 1978, Bai graduated from Peking University Department of Chemistry with a major in catalysis. In October 1978, He was admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Chemistry, where he received a Master of Science in structural chemistry in 1981 and a Doctor of Science in 1985.
In January 1978, after graduating from the university, Bai Chunli was assigned to the Chinese Academy of Sciences' applied chemistry department, which was the beginning of his research career in the Chinese Academy of Sciences. From 1985 to 1987, he did postdoctoral research in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. In 1996, he was the Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; in 2011, he took over from Lu Yongxiang as sixth President of Chinese Academy of Sciences, succeeded by Hou Jianguo in December 2020.
