Applications from highly motivated young persons are invited for one temporary project position as per the details given below:

Name of Post: SRF

Number of posts: One

Project Title: “Development of an advanced pore-scale model for predicting unsaturated soil response” Project no: SERB /CE /2022539

Minimum Qualification:

SRF: M.Tech/M.Sc. (Civil Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Earth Science, Geology, Mechanical Engineering) + 2 years of post-B.Tech research experience.

Desirable Qualification: Candidate having

• experience in micro CT image processing,
• experience in handling Mercury Intrusion Porosimeters,
• experience in writing scripts in MATLAB/python,
• knowledge of clay mineralogy and unsaturated soil mechanics
• knowledge of analyzing multiphase flow through porous media

Nature of Work: The first part of the work involves imaging of clayey soil to capture the pore structure under both dry and wet condition. Once the pore structure is extracted, multiphase flow simulation needs to be carried out through numerical modeling.

Salary: Rs. 42,000/- (consolidated)
