JRF/Postdoctoral Fellow in Advanced Manufacturing and FGM Research
Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, is inviting applications for a
Junior Research Fellow (JRF) / Post Doctorate Fellow
position in a sponsored research project under the
Centre of Excellence in Advanced Manufacturing (CoEAM)
.
The project is titled
“Experimental and Computational Study on the Tribo-Mechanical Performance of Defect-Engineered AM-Fabricated FGMs for Extreme Environments”
and is being carried out in collaboration with the
University of Southampton, UK
. The work is strongly research-oriented and sits at the intersection of
Mechanical Engineering
,
Materials Science
,
advanced manufacturing
,
additive manufacturing
,
functionally graded materials
,
directed energy deposition
,
surface engineering
, and
computational modelling
.
JRF eligibility:
B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical, Design, CAD/CAM, Metallurgy, Production/Manufacturing Engineering, or M.Sc. in Physics/Materials Science, or equivalent, with at least 60% aggregate or equivalent CGPA. A valid GATE/NET score is preferred for the higher emolument level.
Postdoctoral eligibility:
PhD awarded in Mechanical, Metallurgy, Production/Manufacturing Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or equivalent.
Desirable profile:
Candidates should have good knowledge of additive manufacturing processes, surface engineering, materials science, experimental design, and CAD/CAE/material modelling software. The selected researcher will conduct field research in tribology, defect engineering, directed energy deposition (DED), testing, characterization, and development of computational/predictive models for wear evolution in FGM.
Funding:
This is a sponsored project position. JRF stipend is Rs. 45,000/month with valid GATE/NET or Rs. 30,000/month without valid GATE/NET. The postdoctoral fellowship carries Rs. 60,000/month. The appointment is contractual and initially valid until 31/05/2027, with possible extension based on performance.
Application deadline:
15 June 2026.
How to apply:
Email a single PDF containing your CV, self-attested copies of mark sheets, certificates, GATE/NET score card, and testimonials to
[email protected]
. Mention the subject line exactly as specified in the advertisement. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted by email for an online interview.
