Research Associate

This role is ideal for PhD holders in Civil Engineering with specialized expertise in Impact mechanics, Numerical simulations, FEM, and ANSYS. Candidates should possess strong skills in numerical modelling, structural analysis, design validation, and technical report writing. Individuals seeking a challenging project-based research opportunity within a prestigious academic institution like IIT Roorkee, with a clear project scope and duration, will find this position highly suitable. Preference is given to SC/ST candidates.

This position is not suitable for individuals without a PhD in Civil Engineering or those lacking expertise in the specified areas of impact mechanics, numerical simulations, FEM, and ANSYS. Candidates looking for a permanent government position or long-term employment should note this is a project-based role with a defined end date (October 2028). Those who cannot provide a single PDF application via email by the deadline will also be excluded.

Working as a Research Associate at IIT Roorkee, one of India's top technical institutions, offers significant academic prestige and invaluable experience in advanced research. The project, sponsored by DRDO, provides exposure to high-impact defense-related work. This role offers excellent networking opportunities and a strong foundation for future careers in academia, research, or specialized industrial R&D, although it is a temporary, project-based appointment.
