The D-Cubed Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, led by Professor Suparno Bhattacharyya, is inviting applications for multiple academic opportunities in computational mechanics, data-driven modeling, reduced-order methods, digital twins, and related areas. The lab is supporting women scientists from Kerala interested in applying for the KSCSTE Back-to-Lab Post-Doctoral Fellowship (2025–26), which is designed for women who have taken a career break of at least one year after their Ph.D. due to family or personal commitments and wish to return to active research. The fellowship offers a monthly stipend of ₹60,000 and an annual contingency of ₹75,000 for up to two years. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Science or Engineering, be unemployed at the time of application, have a career break of at least one year post-Ph.D., and be permanent residents of Kerala. The application deadline is December 31, 2025.

In addition to the postdoctoral fellowship, the D-Cubed Research Group is actively recruiting highly motivated individuals for PhD and MTech positions. These positions are part of collaborative research projects with leading universities and research laboratories in the United States and other premier IITs in India. Desired backgrounds include a strong academic foundation in applied mathematics and solid mechanics, as well as a clear interest in pursuing advanced, research-oriented studies. Interested candidates should email their CV and a brief statement of research interests to Professor Bhattacharyya at [email protected], using the subject line 'Application for PhD/MTech Position – [Your Name]'.

The D-Cubed Lab offers a vibrant research environment with mentorship and support for postgraduate students interested in research training and project work. Research topics span computational mechanics, data-driven modeling, reduced-order methods, digital twins, and lattice metamaterials.
