IISER Pune Recruitment 2026: 1 Post-Doctoral Fellow Vacancy

This role is ideal for individuals holding a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Meteorology, or related quantitative fields, especially those who have recently submitted their thesis. The ideal candidate will possess strong programming skills, particularly in Python with data analysis libraries (PyTorch, scikit-learn), and have experience handling meteorological datasets or analyzing weather models. This position is perfect for early-career researchers looking to contribute to cutting-edge deep learning weather models within a prestigious Institute of National Importance.

Candidates without a Ph.D. (or thesis submission) in the specified or closely related quantitative fields should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this role unsuitable as it is purely temporary and contractual. Individuals uncomfortable with collaborative research or presenting work at conferences may not thrive in this environment. The single vacancy also means competition will be extremely high.

Working at IISER Pune, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic prestige and excellent networking opportunities in basic sciences and research. While the initial appointment is for one year (extendable), it provides a strong foundation for a career in academia or advanced research. The work involves state-of-the-art deep learning models, offering substantial intellectual growth and contribution to critical scientific areas, despite being a contractual role.
