Department of Petroleum Engineering, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad is opening opportunity for research as Senior Research Fellow under the project titled “Evaluation and Synthesis of Green Hydrate Inhibitors with Enhanced Hydrate Inhibition and Biodegradability”.
Job Description: Procure natural chemicals such as polysaccharides, proteins, vitamins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules and test their kinetic hydrate inhibition performance using the existing set-up under the DST SERB project. Perform biodegradability tests using existing set-up for the various natural chemicals. Synthesize new partially or fully biodegradable homo/co-polymers using highperforming natural chemicals with the existing high-performing commercial kinetic hydrate inhibitors and test their overall performance & biodegradability. Characterize all the procured and synthesized homo/co-polymers for their functional groups, molecular size distribution, molecular weight distribution and rheology using FTIR, Litesizer, APC and rheometer. Perform rudimentary modelling for estimating cooling rates and induction times in pipelines at different gas and water flow rates, temperature, and pressure conditions for field applications. Perform additional tests of high-performing natural and newly synthesized biodegradable chemicals with solvents and/or salts for enhancing hydrate inhibition and for field application.
Essential Qualification: M.Sc. in Chemistry/Applied Chemistry/Biochemistry/Energy or related areas· or ME/M.Tech. in Petroleum/Chemical Engineering or related areas with 60%· marks or First class done after selection from NET tests by CSIR-UGC NET including lectureship (assistant professorship), GATE, national level exams by central govt. departments and their agencies and institutions such as DST, DBT, DAE, DOS, DRDO, MHRD, ICAR, ICMR, IIT, IISc, IISER etc And two years of research/academic/industrial experience·
The last date to submit the applications is on 1st August 2023.
