IIT Delhi Project Scientist - II Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy in Climate Change Research

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a PhD or Master's degree in Water Resources, Environmental Engineering, or related science/engineering fields, especially those with demonstrated experience in handling water resources projects. It suits candidates seeking a project-based, research-intensive position within a prestigious academic institution like IIT Delhi, aiming to contribute to significant national environmental initiatives.

Candidates seeking permanent employment or a role not focused on specific research projects should not apply. Those without the precise academic qualifications (PhD, M.Tech, or M.Sc. with 5 years' experience) in the specified domains, or without relevant project experience, will not be suitable. The position is consolidated pay, which might be a dealbreaker for those expecting a standard pay scale with allowances.

Working as a Project Scientist at IIT Delhi, an institution of national importance, offers significant academic and research prestige. While contractual, this role provides invaluable experience in a critical area (Climate Change Impact, Vulnerability and Adaptation for Water Resources) funded by the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change. This experience can be a strong foundation for future research, academic, or policy-oriented careers, enhancing one's professional profile within the scientific community.
