Minimum Qualification: For Research Associate(RA) post doctorate (phd) or equivalent degree in Civil engineering or having 3 years of research, teaching and design and development experience after ME/M.Tech in Geotechnical Engineering. If a suitable candidate is not found for RA post, appointment may be considered at the level of JRF or SRF. JRF post requires B.Tech (Civil Engineering) or equivalent degree with 55% marks and passing of GATE test. SRF post requires B.Tech (Civil Engineering) and at least 2 years of B.Tech research experience as evidenced from standard journal publication or M.Tech or equivalent degree in Geotechnical Engineering.

Desirable Qualification: Candidate with background in soil mechanics, with experience in experimental geotechnology (triaxial testing) and numerical modelling (finite element analysis and computer programming in Fortran/Matlab) will be preferred.

Nature of Work: Initially, experimental investigation needs to be performed to characterize crushable sand while subjected to cyclic and monotonic loading. Further liquefaction analysis of the sand will be carried out. Finally, a constitutive model will be devised to capture the response of such crushable sand under cyclic loading condition. The project employee may need to visit sites in order to collect undisturbed crushable sand/soil samples with the help of local agencies.

Salary:
@Rs. 36,000/-pm plus HRA (RA)
@Rs. 14,000/-pm plus HRA (SRF)
@Rs. 12,000/-pm plus HRA (JRF)

Age limit: Maximum 35 years for the RA post; 32 year for the SRF post; and 28 years for the JRF post. (upper age limit is relaxable up to 5 years for SC/ST/OBC/Women and physically handicapped candidates).

The post is purely temporary, and is for duration of one year and may be extended depending on the requirement. If shortlisted, copies of relevant certificates will be required, and will be checked against original certificates at the time of interview.

Only short-listed applicants will be called for an interview (by the second week of September, 2017). Applicants who do not meet the minimum qualification and work experience will not be called for the interview. No TA/DA will be provided to attend the interview.

Applications along with CV on a plain paper (or by email) should be submitted to the undersigned latest by August 30, 2017.

Applications will be sent to
