Institute Research Fellow

This role is ideally suited for Master's or Bachelor's degree holders in Chemical, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Energy Engineering with a strong academic record (minimum 60%). Candidates should demonstrate a keen interest in engaging with research focused on combustion, heat transfer, chemical looping, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It presents an excellent opportunity for those aspiring to pursue a PhD, as the position offers a clear pathway to apply for a PhD degree at BITS Pilani.

Individuals who do not possess the specified engineering degrees or whose academic performance falls below the 60% minimum aggregate marks should not apply. The role is not suitable for candidates uninterested in a time-bound research project (two years duration) or who do not envision pursuing further doctoral studies in a research-intensive environment.

BITS Pilani is a highly reputable private institution in India, widely recognized for its robust engineering and science programs. This Institute Research Fellow position, supported by a CDRF-funded project, offers a solid foundation for a research career. It provides valuable academic and practical research experience within a distinguished institution, offering significant benefits for long-term growth towards a PhD and subsequent research roles.
