Doctoral Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated Ph.D. holders in Materials, Polymer, Biotech, or Biomedical Engineering with a strong research background evidenced by at least two first-author SCI publications. Candidates with industrial experience in bio-composite materials, pharmaceutical science, or biomedical testing, and proficiency in advanced material characterization techniques (SEM, TEM, XRD, TGA, DSC, HPLC) will find this opportunity particularly fitting. A passion for cutting-edge research leading to patents and high-impact publications, coupled with a collaborative spirit, is essential.

Individuals without a Ph.D. in the specified engineering disciplines or those lacking the required first-author SCI publications should not apply. Candidates uncomfortable with academic responsibilities like mentoring or those solely seeking permanent employment may find the temporary (1 year 8 months) nature and specific research focus of this fellowship unsuitable.

The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IITR) is a premier institution offering an excellent platform for specialized post-doctoral research. While the fellowship is temporary, it provides invaluable experience in cutting-edge research on biocompatible metal alloys for drug-delivery, mentorship opportunities, and access to world-class facilities. This position can significantly enhance one's research profile and open doors to future academic or industry leadership roles in a highly specialized field.
