The world is trying hard to switch into Electric Vehicles right now and not many research units are focusing on IC Engines anymore. At the present scenario, is there any known Post-doc position vacancy likely to be applied for, in Engines field.??
Kindly do Share your expertise in this.
Thank You.
If a concerned faculty has project related to IC engines, then there may be chance of getting post doc.
IIT madras, IIT kanpur, IIT , IIT Delhi, IIT Ropar having IC Engine research centers . You can approch through mail.
1. Recharge Points: Electric fuelling stations are still in the development stages. Not a lot of places you go to on a daily basis will have electric fuelling stations for your vehicle, meaning that if you’re on a long trip and run out of a charge, you may be stuck where you are.
2. Electricity isn’t Free: Electric cars can also be a hassle on your energy bill if you’re not considering the options carefully. If you haven’t done your research into the electric car you want to purchase, then you may be making an unwise investment. Sometimes electric cars require a huge charge in order to function properly – which may reflect poorly on your electricity bill each month.
3. Short Driving Range and Speed: Electric cars are limited by range and speed. Most of these cars have range about 50-100 miles and need to be recharged again. You just can’t use them for long journeys as of now, although it is expected to improve in future.
4. Longer Recharge Time: While it takes couple of minutes to fuel your gasoline powered car, an electric car take about 4-6 hours to get fully charged. Therefore, you need dedicated power stations as the time taken to recharge them is quite long.
5. Silence as Disadvantage: Silence can be a bit disadvantage as people like to hear noise if they are coming from behind them. An electric car is however silent and can lead to accidents in some cases.
6. Normally 2 Seaters: Most of the electric cars available today are small and 2 seated only. They are not meant for entire family and a third person can make journey for other two passengers bit uncomfortable.
7. Battery Replacement: Depending on the type and usage of battery, batteries of almost all electric cars are required to be changed every 3-10 years.
8. Not Suitable for Cities Facing Shortage of Power: As electric cars need power to charge up, cities already facing acute power shortage are not suitable for electric cars. The consumption of more power would hamper their daily power needs.
9. Some governments do not provide money saving initiatives in order to encourage you to buy an electric car.
10. Some base models of electric cars are still very expensive because of how new they are and the technology it took to develop them.
Hi,
Getting a research position in IC engine or in any specific field is completely dependent on the hiring professor at a particular institute. If he is having funding and project, then he would probably hire a candidate at any level (graduate or postgraduate). However, there are still lots of scope in engine and fuel research and it is not possible for the electric vehicle to replace it completely considering the economy, reliability and other factors. In India, almost all old IITs and IISc are having very good engine research labs. You can contact individual faculty through email. I hope this will help you.
Thanks!

In my opinion, present fuel cell is a emerging technology related to Automobiles, as now the world is looking great at the electric vehicles it is also a good topic in present situation.
