The Department of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Madras brings together researchers working across a broad range of areas in aerospace engineering and related disciplines. We welcome applications and expressions of interest from researchers and students who are interested in contributing to this environment.
We regularly have opportunities for faculty positions, postdoctoral researchers, and M.S. and Ph.D. students across different research areas. Researchers at the department have access to extensive computational and experimental facilities, opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, and projects supported by national and international agencies as well as industry.
We are particularly interested in individuals who are motivated to pursue challenging research problems, develop new ideas, and contribute to ongoing or emerging areas of research.
