Junior Research Fellow (JRF) – Aerospace Propulsion
Applications are invited for a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) position in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department of Mahindra University, for a project sponsored by the Aeronautics Research and Development Board (AR&DB), DRDO.
Project Title
Design Optimization of Turbine Nozzle Guide Vane Three‐Dimensional Airfoils
Description of the Work
You will carry out CFD simulations for different designs of turbine stages (aircraft engine) using commercial CFD software such as ANSYS CFX. The work involves 3‐D CAD design of turbine blades, grid generation, CFD simulations, and post‐processing of results. The CFD results will be used to obtain an optimal turbine stator vane design that minimizes aerodynamic losses. The research will be conducted in collaboration with the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), DRDO, and the results will support the design of advanced combat aircraft engine turbines.
Required Qualifications
The prospective candidate should hold an M.E./M.Tech. from a tier 1 or tier 2 institution in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, with a strong interest in aerospace propulsion and expertise with CFD. Candidates with a B.Tech. degree who have strong credentials will also be considered.
Graduates of the program will be encouraged to register for a Ph.D. degree in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department of the Ecole Centrale School of Engineering, Mahindra University, Hyderabad.
Salary
The monthly salary is Rs. 43,600 p.m. (Rs. 37,000 + 18 % HRA) in accordance with DST standards, without any deductions. If the candidate resides on campus, HRA will not be paid and deductions will be made toward mess fees.
About the University
Mahindra Ecole Centrale was established in 2014 as a collaboration between the Mahindra Group and the Ecole Centrale Group of Institutions in France. It became Mahindra University in 2020. The JRF will operate from the Ecole Centrale School of Engineering of Mahindra University. More details can be found at https://www.mahindrauniversity.edu.in/.
