Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT Gandhinagar) invites application for the position Junior Research Fellow
Project title: Development of sliding bearing for earthquake protection of structures
Project description: The candidate is expected to conduct interdisciplinary research on the fabrication of polymer composites which will be used to evaluate frictional and wear properties for earthquake protection. The candidate will also have to characterize the fabricated specimens with SEM, optical profilometer, optical microscope, XPS, Vickers indenter, tribometer and other surface characterization tools. Knowledge in wet chemistry routes for polymer processing and thermomechanical processing techniques are preferable.
Eligibility: Masters in Materials science and Engineering/Chemical Engineering/Mechanical Engineering/Chemistry/Nanotechnology or allied fieldsfrom reputed universities with good work ethics is required. Applicants must have research specialization in one or more of the fieldspolymer processing, tribology, wetting phenomena. The candidate must have preferably qualified GATE/NET or equivalent examinations. Good communication skills both in scientific writing as well as in presentations are highly desirable.
Salary: 31,000 Rs p.m.
