Applications are invited for 2 positions under Project Engineer/Project Scientist/Senior Project Engineer/Senior Project Scientist for a project funded by Boeing Inc USA and Boeing Research Labs, Bangalore, India. The project is being jointly executed by the Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering Departments at IIT Kanpur. The work involves extensive large scale computations with ab initio, molecular dynamics and finite element models on a class of high performance polymeric materials with a view to understand their damage mechanisms and mechanical properties.

Essential qualifications:

 Project Engineer position: M.Tech in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil or Materials Engineering

 Project Scientist position: M.Sc + 3 years experience in Physics, Computational Chemistry, Polymer Science, and Materials Science

• extensive knowledge of Linear and non-linear Finite Element techniques OR Molecular
  dynamics simulations preferably of polymeric systems.

• experience in computer programing, preferably Matlab.

Salary scale: 22000-2200-44000

Essential qualification:

Senior Project Engineer position: Ph.D in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil, Chemical or Materials Engineering
