Senior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated individuals holding a Master's degree (or a strong UG) in Metallurgical, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering. Candidates must possess at least two years of research experience, a valid GATE score, and demonstrated proficiency in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), multiphase flow, and chemical reactions. Prior hands-on experience with simulation solvers like FLUENT or COMSOL is essential, with additional preference for experimental work experience in gas-solid reactors.

Candidates without the specified engineering degrees, mandatory two years of research experience, or a valid GATE score should not apply. Individuals lacking proficiency in CFD and relevant simulation software (FLUENT/COMSOL) will find this role unsuitable. This position is purely temporary and contractual, so those seeking permanent government employment will be disappointed.

Working as a Senior Research Fellow at IIT Madras, a premier technical institution, offers significant prestige and a valuable opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in metallurgical engineering. While the position is temporary (initially 4 months, extendable based on performance), it provides excellent hands-on experience in advanced simulation and experimental techniques. This experience can be a strong foundation for future research positions, PhD studies, or specialized industry roles.
