Job Description
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR - Machine Design in Ranchi, Jharkhand | University Recruitment
Role Summary
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Cambridge Institute Of Technology is expanding its research footprint in Machine Design with a focus on computational mechanics, smart materials, and sustainable design practices. The department has a strong reputation for applied research and industry collaborations, particularly in areas like finite element analysis and product innovation. With growing postgraduate enrolment in specialized Machine Design courses, the institution seeks a dedicated faculty member to strengthen academic delivery and research output.
Cambridge Institute Of Technology’s Machine Design group is recognized for its work on lightweight structures and vibration control, often engaging with local industries in Ranchi and Jamshedpur. The university provides state-of-the-art labs including a CAD/CAM center and rapid prototyping facilities. This role is crucial to maintain the department’s upward trajectory in national rankings and research funding.
Day-to-Day Duties
Teach core and elective courses in Machine Design at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including Kinematics of Machinery, Dynamics of Machines, and Finite Element Analysis. Prepare detailed lesson plans aligned with university syllabi and incorporate real-world case studies from the region’s manufacturing sector. Cambridge Institute Of Technology emphasizes contextual learning, so linking theory to local industries in Ranchi is expected.
Engage actively in research by publishing in peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus or Web of Science. Lead at least one funded project annually and collaborate with other departments on interdisciplinary themes such as robotics or renewable energy systems. The university encourages faculty to apply for grants from DST, AICTE, or industry partners.
Supervise final-year undergraduate projects and guide postgraduate dissertations in Machine Design. Conduct regular reviews of student work and provide constructive feedback within ethical and academic guidelines. The role includes serving on departmental committees for curriculum development and student mentoring programs.
Who Can Apply
Applicants must hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Machine Design from a recognized university. Those with post-doctoral research experience or industry exposure in design simulation will be preferred. A minimum of one year of teaching or research experience in a university or research institution is required.
For candidates without a PhD, eligibility under UGC-NET/JRF or CSIR-NET with JRF in Mechanical Engineering is mandatory as per UGC norms. Prior teaching experience in Machine Design at the undergraduate or postgraduate level is essential. Cambridge Institute Of Technology values candidates who have worked in institutions with strong industry linkages.
Research Opportunities
Cambridge Institute Of Technology offers multiple avenues for funded research in Machine Design, including projects under AICTE’s RPS scheme and DST’s IMPRINT program. Faculty members can collaborate with nearby institutions like BIT Mesra or IIT(ISM) Dhanbad on joint publications and student exchange. The university also supports international conferences and workshops in emerging areas such as additive manufacturing and biomechanical design.
There are opportunities to lead sponsored research for local industries in Ranchi, such as Tata Steel, SAIL, or small-scale engineering firms. These projects provide practical data for publications and enhance the university’s consultancy profile. The institution encourages faculty to file patents and publish in high-impact journals with open-access options.
Ph.D. Supervision
The successful candidate will guide doctoral students in Machine Design, assisting them in defining research problems, conducting literature reviews, and designing experiments. Responsibilities include monitoring progress, organizing pre-submission seminars, and facilitating thesis evaluation by external experts. Cambridge Institute Of Technology’s PhD program in Mechanical Engineering follows UGC regulations, ensuring rigorous and ethical supervision.
Faculty members are expected to serve as internal examiners for PhD vivas and contribute to the university’s research review board. Participation in national and international conferences is encouraged to enhance the visibility of the research group. The institution provides administrative support for student registration and thesis submission processes.
What You Get
The ASSISTANT PROFESSOR Machine Design position at Cambridge Institute Of Technology offers a consolidated monthly salary between Rs.30,000 and Rs.55,000 as per UGC norms. In addition, faculty members are eligible for research grants, conference travel support, and institutional incentives for publications in Scopus/WoS indexed journals.
The university provides furnished accommodation on campus or a housing allowance, along with medical insurance for the faculty member and dependents. Professional development funds are available for attending workshops or short courses in advanced simulation tools. Cambridge Institute Of Technology also supports faculty-led industry consultancy projects with revenue-sharing models.
