Job Description – Junior Research Fellow (JRF), Research Area: Corrosion of Reinforcement in Concrete Structures
Job Profile:
The JRF will work on experimental and analytical investigations related to corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures, with a focus on understanding corrosion mechanisms, monitoring, and assessment of corrosion-induced deterioration. The work will involve laboratory experimentation, electrochemical measurements, data analysis, and interpretation of corrosion behaviour.
Eligibility:
Candidates with a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Materials Science/Engineering, Metallurgy, Chemistry, or a related discipline are encouraged to apply. Candidates with a strong academic/research background in corrosion science and electrochemistry will be preferred.
Desirable Skills:
- Sound understanding of electrochemical principles of corrosion
- Knowledge of corrosion of steel/reinforcement in concrete
- Experience with electrochemical techniques such as half-cell potential, corrosion rate measurements, polarization techniques, or EIS is desirable
- Laboratory experimentation, data analysis and scientific reporting
- Good analytical and problem-solving skills
Job Description : Postdoctoral Fellow – Structural Health Monitoring using Piezoelectric Sensors
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and deploy PZT-based sensing systems for damage detection and structural health monitoring.
- Conduct experimental investigations on structural components.
- Develop signal processing, data analysis and intelligent damage-detection techniques.
- Work on interdisciplinary research integrating sensors, electronics, materials and structural engineering.
- Publish research findings in high-quality journals/conferences and contribute to collaborative research proposals.
Eligibility & Preferred Background:
- PhD in Sensors, Structural Health Monitoring, Smart Structures, Civil/Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or closely related areas.
- Candidates with strong expertise in piezoelectric sensors, sensor networks, signal processing, EMI techniques, vibration-based monitoring or damage detection are preferred.
- Experience in experimental research and data analysis will be an advantage.
Interested candidates can submit their CV to deepthi.ma@mahindrauniversity@edu.in.
