Project Officer

This role is ideal for highly motivated engineering graduates (Mechanical/Applied Mechanics/Chemical) with a strong foundation in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. Candidates with a Master's degree in Thermofluidics or 2 years of relevant experience, coupled with programming skills (C++/Python) and expertise in CFD/MD simulations, are particularly well-suited. It offers an excellent opportunity for early-career researchers or engineers seeking project-based experience in a prestigious academic environment with potential for publications.

Individuals primarily seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a temporary contract position. Those lacking specific technical expertise in thermofluidics, fluid mechanics, or relevant computational methods, or candidates expecting a higher salary scale typical of permanent government roles, may find this unsuitable.

Working with IIT Madras, a premier Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research in nanofluid-assisted heat transfer. While the role is contractual, it provides invaluable experience with advanced computing clusters and opportunities to publish in high-impact international journals, which can substantially boost a career in research and development or academia.
