Project Fellow & Research Associate

This role is ideal for highly specialized candidates holding a Ph.D. or M.Tech degree in Mechanical, Civil, Hydropower, Aeronautical, Aerospace, Mechatronics, or Tribology Engineering. Candidates with a proven track record in CFD simulation, design, and testing of hydro turbines and pumps, especially those seeking project-based research roles in a prestigious academic institution, will find this opportunity suitable. Strong preference is given to those with practical experience in relevant fields.

This is a contractual project position, not a permanent government job; therefore, individuals seeking long-term, stable employment should not apply. Those without a Ph.D. or an M.Tech with substantial, specific experience (at least 3 years) in hydro-related CFD/design/testing will not meet the eligibility criteria. The highly specialized nature of the work may not suit general engineering graduates.

Working at IIT Roorkee offers significant academic prestige and access to state-of-the-art research facilities, providing an excellent platform for career advancement in the niche field of hydro and renewable energy. This project, sponsored by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, enhances an individual's research profile. However, being a project-based role, it has a defined duration of 1 year or until project completion, implying limited long-term job security within this specific position.
