IIT Bombay, Maharashtra, India invites applications for Post-Doctoral Associate at IIT Bombay from eligible and interested candidates
About- Established in 1958, the second of its kind, IIT Bombay was the first to be set up with foreign assistance. The funds from UNESCO came as Roubles from the then-Soviet Union. In 1961 Parliament decreed the IITs as ‘Institutes of National Importance’. Since then, IITB has grown from strength to strength to emerge as one of the top technical universities in the world.
Research/Job Area- In related area (Electrical Engineering)
Location- IIT Bombay, Maharashtra, India
Skype Interview Tips and Tricks – Best Practices in the Video interview
Eligibility/Qualification–
- The applicant should be an Indian citizen.
- The applicant must have obtained Ph.D/M.D/M.S degree from a recognized University in Electrical Engineering and should have worked on the design and analysis of electric motors.
- Those who have submitted their PhD/M.D/M.S thesis and are awaiting award of the degree are also eligible to apply.
- However, such candidates, if selected, will be offered lower fellowship amount till they qualify the eligible degree.
Job Profile:
The project is about designing and manufacturing a Motor with a high Torque to weight ratio. The candidate should have done his Doctoral thesis in Electrical Engineering and should have worked on the design and analysis of electric motors. The candidate should have good command on simulations using Standard softwares like ANSYS-EMAG / MotorCAD etc. and CAD softwares like FUSION 360/SolidWorks/Catia for design of the stator and rotor of an electric motor using modern windings. Simulations to design light weight radial flux motors and Axial flux motors keeping in mind the objective of weight reduction, reduced torque ripple etc would be expected from the Candidate. The candidate must demonstrate these skills on a Computer and should have research publications in this subject in reputed refereed international Journals. You will also be expected to get involved in the design of coils to produce a strong magnetic field around metal injection moulding moulds to facilitate Injection moulding in the presence of a strong magnetic field to produce multipolar magnets.
Age Limit: 35 Years
