Advertisement for an RA-III position under Prof. Ganesh Subramanian, Engineering Mechanics Unit, JNCASR

Applications are invited for the position of a Research Associate (RA-III), under the supervision of Prof. Ganesh Subramanian, Engineering Mechanics Unit, JNCASR. The selected candidate will conduct research on a range of problems pertaining to motion of deformed drops and anisotropic particles in shearing flows of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. The candidate is expected to take up this position starting October 1st, 2024.

Candidates should hold a PhD in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or Theoretical Physics, or allied disciplines, with at least two years of post-doctoral experience in Microhydrodynamics, including expertise in theoretical and computational methods (such as boundary integral simulations) related to the motion of particles and drops in shearing flows of both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. This expertise should be evidenced by publications in top-tier journals like the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Journal of non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, or Physical Review Fluids.
