JRF/PA MSc Chemistry Recruitment – BITS Pilani – Applications
Applications are invited from interested and motivated candidates for the post of Junior Research Fellow (JRF)/ Project Associate-1 in a time bound research project for a temporary period purely on contractual basis as per the following details:
Job Title: Junior Research Fellow (JRF)/Project Associate-1
Number of Vacancy: 01 ( one in Chemistry department)
Project Title: Design and development of a multi output high voltage gain converter with
multi-frequency operation for PV applications and green hydrogen generation.
Funding Agency: Power Electronics Technology Phase-III (NaMPET-III) Programme
Principal Investigator:
Dr. Rajneesh Kumar, Department of EEE
Principal CoInvestigator
Dr. Surojit Pande, Department of Chemistry
Project Tenure: 2 Years
Job Description: In this research proposal we are designing a new DC-DC converter with
multi-output capability. Proposed converter will be more efficient than the
existing ones and efficiency is likely to be more than 95%. Multi frequency
operation is likely to reduce the size of converter with reduction in magnetic
component. Designed converter will be tested under different loading
conditions applicable for solar PV rooftop power of ~2kW rating. (This work
will be performed with Dr. Rajneesh)
In addition to conventional loading, we are proposing a new
applicationof green hydrogen production using one of the outputs of designed converter.
Fabrication of two-electrode configuration for solar-light driven green
hydrogen generation using doped 2D thin sheets (hydroxides and sulphides of
Ni) as both anode and cathode (PV-EC coupled system) is also proposed in this
research work. This will introduce a new application of rooftop solar PV based
systems. (This work will be performed with Dr. Surojit)
The candidate will be actively engaged in writing research articles and
patents
Eligbility Criteria:Â
For Dr. Surojit Pande:
The candidate must hold a M.Sc degree in Chemistry (Inorganic/Physical
Chemistry background) or equivalent with first class. The candidate must pass
the B.Sc examination with 55% marks.
Desirable:
(a) NET/GATE qualified
(b) Knowledge in nanomaterial synthesis and electrochemistry will be
preferred. Proficiency in dealing with data analysis software e.g. Origin, Excel.
(c) Good verbal and written communication skill in English.
Upper Age Limit Age not exceeding 35 years as on the date of interview. Age relaxation is
allowed up to 5 year for SC/ST/PH/OBC/WOMEN candidates.
Fellowship: 31,000/- per month for NET/GATE qualified candidates.
25,000 per month for non-NET/GATE qualified candidates.
Registration for PhD.: Selected candidates will be given the opportunity for a full time PhD program at BITS, Pilani as per the institute norms.
How to Apply:
Applications along with updated CV should be sent through mail to [email protected]. (for Dr. Rajneesh Kumar) and [email protected]. (for Dr. Surojit Pande). Shortlisted candidates will be informed for the interview. Mere possession of minimum qualification does not guarantee an invitation to the interview.
