Openings

We are seeking passionate and driven individuals to join our team and contribute to cutting-edge research in advanced materials and structures. Our group thrives on collaboration, innovation, and intellectual curiosity, and we welcome researchers at various levels who are eager to explore new frontiers in theoretical, numerical, and experimental mechanics.

Explore the available opportunities below:

Postdoctoral research

We invite applications from highly motivated researchers interested in theoretical, numerical, or experimental studies in our group. Postdoctoral researchers are expected to be independent, proactive, and capable of leading research projects while mentoring Ph.D. students.

Current opening: For details, please see the advertisement on LinkedIn. To apply, please use this application form.

Outstanding candidates may also be considered for the following internal fellowships:

• IISc Post-Doctoral Fellowship (IPDF)
• Axis Bank Post-Doctoral Fellowship

Additionally, candidates are encouraged to explore external funding opportunities such as:

• National Post-Doctoral Fellowship
• Common Fellowship Portal
• CSIR Yuva Portal
• NBHM Post-Doctoral Fellowship

Graduate research

If you have been admitted to a Ph.D. or M.Tech. program at IISc and are interested in working on advanced material systems, vibrations, wave dynamics, or metamaterials, we encourage you to reach out. Please email us your CV to explore potential research opportunities in our group.

Undergraduate research

We welcome applications from highly motivated undergraduate students in engineering, physics, or applied mathematics who are eager to gain research experience in experimental mechanics and material design. Students may apply through official channels such as:

• Indian Science Academies’ Summer Research Program
• Indian National Academy of Engineering
• JNCASR Summer Research Fellowship

If you are passionate about experimental mechanics but missed the application deadlines for the fellowships above, you are still welcome to apply directly here.

Project assistants/associates

We will soon have an opening for a project assistant/associate to work on an exciting project in Mechanical Metamaterials. Candidates with experience in experimental mechanics and skills in robotics, 3D printing, and vibration testing are encouraged to apply. The salary will be as per IISc norms.

Please apply here to express your interest.

Please note that due to the high volume of applications we receive, we may not be able to respond to every inquiry. If you do not hear back from us, please be assured that we have reviewed your application carefully.
