We wish to recruit faculty with original ideas and the drive to realize them. The Institute and the Department provides all encouragement to new faculty in their quest for excellence and leadership in their chosen research areas. Numerous national and international funding agencies are coming forward to support creative ideas and collaborative research projects. IIT Madras also has a research park that encourages entrepreneurship and collaboration with industries on new research ideas.
The Institute has schemes to recruit post-doctoral fellows who are acting as research multipliers in different areas. Our faculty routinely collaborate with both science and engineering faculty from other Departments to tackle problems of inter-disciplinary nature. We also have interdisciplinary PhD programmes where students may be guided by faculty from two different departments. IIT Madras is a self sufficient, green residential campus thriving with wildlife and has all facilities (food courts, open air theatre, hospital, shopping centres) for comfortable living. It is in the centre of the city and well connected to surrounding areas.
We are sure that many of you would like to take part in our Journey to Excellence. The course towards this may seem uncharted with challenges aplenty, but the end results are certain to be satisfying, benefiting the Nation’s economy and society. I hope many of you will consider a career in the Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Madras.
We look forward to receiving your application.
