The Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad (IIT Dharwad) is inviting applications for Junior Research Fellow (JRF) and PhD opportunities in the fields of Pavement Engineering and Structural/Materials Engineering. These positions are part of two funded research projects led by Dr. Aniket Vasantrao Kataware, in collaboration with Dr. Bharath Gottumukkala and Dr. Ramesh Nayaka. The first project focuses on Cold In-Plant (CIP) Recycled Bituminous Mixtures with Emulsified Bitumen, funded by ANRF, and the second project investigates Gamma-Ray Shielding Concrete, funded by BRNS. Applicants should hold an M.Tech or M.E. in Civil Engineering or a closely related specialization. Preference will be given to candidates who are GATE qualified. The positions are funded for a period of three years, with the possibility of conversion to a PhD program for outstanding candidates. The research areas include advanced pavement materials, recycled bituminous mixtures, emulsified bitumen technology, and innovative concrete materials for radiation shielding. To apply, candidates must send their CV to Dr. Aniket Vasantrao Kataware at [email protected] and complete the mandatory application form provided in the link. The application process requires uploading several documents, including degree certificates, mark sheets, GATE/NET scorecards (if applicable), proof of age, and a recent CV. The selection process will be based on the matching of credentials with project requirements, and shortlisted candidates will be contacted by the project investigator. This opportunity is ideal for motivated researchers interested in pursuing advanced research in pavement and materials engineering, with a focus on sustainable and innovative construction materials. The projects offer a dynamic research environment at IIT Dharwad, with collaboration across departments and access to state-of-the-art facilities. Keywords relevant to this opportunity include Pavement Engineering, Structural Engineering, Materials Engineering, Civil Engineering, Bituminous Mixtures, Gamma-Ray Shielding Concrete, and Recycled Materials.
