Advertisement for Research Positions


in Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction
IIT Gandhinagar invites applications for 4 research and development positions with 3 at the project associate/officer
and engineer and 1 at the junior research fellow level in high fidelity computational fluid structure interaction of
transonic axial compressor blades. The work involves the computational assessment of the onset of flutter, dynamic
stall, instabilities, limit cycle oscillations and whirl flutter in transonic flow for the design of flutter free rotor blades.
Candidates with expertise and/or interest in one or more of the domains of Computational Fluid Dynamics,
Dynamics, Computational Structural Dynamics, Finite Element Modelling, High Speed Aerodynamics of Internal
Flows, Reduced-Order Modelling techniques and High Performance Computing are welcomed to apply for this post.
Candidates must hold a good MTech degree and/or BTech in Mechanical and/or Aerospace Engineering or Structural
Engineering.
S/He is expected to have a strong aptitude in mathematical and numerical modelling of engineered systems,
knowledge of high performance computing and programming skills in implementing high fidelity computational
engineering algorithms and softwares on multi-core and accelerator based computing platforms and good
communication skills. Familiarity with Linux Operating Systems and parallel computing will be useful. Familiarity and
willingness to use and integrate open source computational engineering softwares such as OpenFOAM, SU2, Deal II
and Dakota for the work is a must for this position. Interest in GPU/CUDA programming will be a welcome
advantage as the computational work will use the Multi-core and GPU HPC Cluster at IITGN as well as resources on
the Indian Grid, Garuda such as the CDAC Param Yuva II.
Compensation will follow stipulated norms of the Institute. Initial appointment will be for 1 year with the possibility
of renewal for another year depending on performance.
Those interested are requested to download the application package from http://www.iitgn.ac.in/staff-oncontract.htm, e-mail a single zipped file containing (1) Application Form, (2) Curriculum vitae, (3) List of courses
done, (4) Details of project work done , (5)List of referees and their contact details and (6) a 1-2 page statement of
purpose outlining the skill sets which you will bring and apply in the research area to [email protected]. Please note
that your single zipped file should be named as <your last name>_rp_iitgn.zip. Candidates shortlisted for the
interview will be informed and they are to submit the hardcopies of all these documents, if they are selected.
Incomplete application forms i.e. resumes only without the application form and applications without statement of
purpose will be ignored.
The last date for application is 9 August 2015.
