Junior Research Fellow & Ph.D. Position

This role is most suitable for highly motivated candidates with a B.E./B.Tech. or M.E./M.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering or allied disciplines, possessing a strong academic record and a keen interest in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, refrigeration, computational modelling, or related areas. Ideal applicants will have experience with CFD software (ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM), numerical methods, programming skills (MATLAB, Python, C/C++), and exposure to experimental research in thermal/fluid engineering. This position is perfect for individuals aspiring to pursue a Ph.D. and contribute to cutting-edge sustainable carbon capture technologies.

Candidates lacking a robust academic background in Mechanical Engineering or allied fields, or those without a demonstrated interest in the specified research areas, should not apply. Individuals primarily seeking a permanent government service position or a role with immediate high-level administrative responsibilities will find this research-focused Ph.D. opportunity unsuitable. Those uninterested in computational fluid dynamics, multiphase flow, or carbon capture technologies would also not be a good fit.

This position offers a highly prestigious opportunity to work on a collaborative research project between two premier Indian institutions, BITS Pilani and IIT Roorkee. It provides an excellent platform for pursuing a Ph.D., engaging in cutting-edge research, publishing in high-impact journals, and collaborating with leading researchers. The experience gained in advanced computational methodologies for carbon capture is highly valuable and offers significant long-term growth prospects in both academia and industry within the specialized field of sustainable energy technologies.
