Ph.D. Position

This Ph.D. position is ideally suited for highly motivated M.Tech./M.E. graduates in Mechanical, Materials, Chemical, Polymer, or Energy Engineering. Candidates with a strong academic background (minimum 60% aggregate marks or equivalent CGPA), especially those who are GATE qualified, and possess a keen interest in materials science, hydrogen technologies, and experimental characterization will find this role a perfect fit. It offers a unique opportunity for collaborative research between two premier institutions.

Individuals who do not possess an M.Tech./M.E. degree in the specified engineering disciplines, or those who do not meet the minimum academic percentage, should not apply. Candidates seeking a traditional government service position or those without a strong inclination towards research in the specified project area (adsorbent integrated inner liner architectures for Type IV hydrogen storage tanks) will find this role unsuitable. There is no provision for TA/DA for attending interviews.

This collaborative Ph.D. position offers significant prestige, combining the academic excellence of BITS Pilani and the research prowess of IIT Roorkee. It provides an excellent platform for building a strong foundation in academic and research careers, opening doors to future R&D roles in both academia and industry. The project focuses on a cutting-edge area (hydrogen storage), ensuring relevance and strong potential for impact in sustainable energy technologies.
