Project Assistant

This role is ideal for individuals holding B.E/B.Tech and M.E/M.Tech degrees in Mechanical Engineering or Polymer Technology who are seeking to gain valuable research experience. It is particularly well-suited for candidates aspiring to pursue a Ph.D., as the selected individual will be required to register for Ph.D. research at Anna University, Chennai. A foundational understanding of polymer composites material preparation is a definite advantage.

This position is strictly temporary, with an initial appointment for six months and a maximum tenure until February 2028. Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply. Those without the specific engineering qualifications (B.E/B.Tech and M.E/M.Tech in Mechanical or Polymer Technology) or an interest in pursuing a Ph.D. will find this role unsuitable. There is only one vacancy, indicating high competition, and no TA/DA will be provided for attending interviews.

Anna University is a highly reputed state technical university, and working on a DOTE-sponsored research project under a Principal Investigator from the Mechanical Engineering Department offers significant academic prestige and hands-on experience in cutting-edge materials science. The requirement to register for a Ph.D. further enhances the academic and research trajectory, providing a strong foundation for a career in academia or R&D. While the role itself is temporary, the associated research and Ph.D. opportunity offer substantial long-term growth in a specialized field.
