Postdotoral Fellow in Mechanical & Aerospace

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work on an ANRF (PMECRG)- funded project to develop high-fidelity computational and machine-learning frameworks for double-diffusive and salt-finger convection. The research will combine: Geophysical flows (Double-diffusive convection: Salt-finger convection, Transport phenomena), High-Fidelity Computing, and Reduced-order modeling. The position offers an opportunity to work at the intersection of fluid mechanics, numerical simulation, HPC, and machine learning.RESPONSIBILITIESDevelopment of high-fidelity numerical simulations of salt-finger and double-diffusive convection Development and optimization of GPU-accelerated computational frameworks High-performance DNS and large-scale numerical simulations Development of machine-learning-based reduced-order models Analysis of complex multiscale flow and transport phenomena Integration of simulation data with ML/ROM frameworks Scientific software development, automation, and large-scale data analysisQUALIFICATIONSEssential Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering/Mechanical Engineering/Applied Mathematics, or a closely related discipline Strong background in computational fluid dynamics and numerical methods Demonstrated research experience in computational modeling of fluid flows Desirable At least 1 year of post-Ph.D. research experience in CFD Experience with DNS or LES of complex flows Strong understanding of turbulence and numerical methods Proficiency in Modern Fortran and Python Experience with Linux/Unix-based HPC environments Exposure to parallel computing using MPI, OpenMP, and/or GPU computing Experience with machine learning, reduced-order modeling, or data-driven methods Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a multidisciplinary research environment FELLOWSHIP & POSITION DETAILS Fellowship: ₹58,000 – ₹67,000 per month (as per ANRF norms)Qualification Fellowship AmountPh.D. (0 years experience) ₹58,000/month Ph.D. + 1 year experience ₹61,000/month Ph.D. + 2 years experience ₹67,000/month Additional: +30% HRA if university accommodation is not provided Duration: Initially 1 year, extendable based on performance Location: Hyderabad, India Joining: Flexible HOW TO APPLY Interested candidates are invited to submit the following documents directly to the PI at (manjul.sharma@mahindrauniversity.edu.in): Latest CV List of publications Brief statement of research interests Contact details of 2 referees PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORDr. Manjul Sharma Assistant Professor Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Ecole Centrale School of Engineering Mahindra University, Hyderabad Website: https://smanjul.com
