About this position
A postdoctoral position is available in the Applied Mechanics & Biomedical Engineering department at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, supervised by Professor Sayan Gupta and co-advised by Professor Anubhab Roy. The research focuses on theoretical modelling of coupled instabilities, specifically Turing and Faraday instabilities, in thin reactive fluid layers. The project aims to develop mathematical models and conduct numerical analysis to understand and control these instabilities, with applications in designing next-generation programmable and smart materials, advanced micro-reactors, lab-on-chip systems, and tunable optical/metamaterial devices.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in mathematical modelling and numerical analysis, ideally with experience in fluid dynamics and instability phenomena. Theoretical outcomes from this research will contribute to the development of sensors, actuators, and advanced material systems for micro-reactors and lab-on-chip technologies. The position is open immediately, and applicants are expected to have completed a PhD in a relevant field.
To apply, candidates should email their CV to [email protected], including a short write-up outlining their PhD work and a one-page document describing their understanding of the proposed research problem. The opportunity is ideal for those interested in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of physics, mechanical engineering, and materials science, with a focus on theoretical and computational approaches to complex fluid systems.
