IIT Delhi Recruitment 2026: Apply for 1 Principal Project Scientist Post

This role is ideal for highly experienced Ph.D. holders in Textile Chemistry or Engineering with a strong publication record and at least five years of post-doctoral research experience. Candidates with practical expertise in working with a newton sweating thermal manikin are particularly well-suited, especially those keen on contributing to cutting-edge research in extreme cold weather clothing technology within a prestigious institution like IIT Delhi.

Candidates without a Ph.D. in the specified fields, or those with less than five years of post-Ph.D. experience, should not apply. Individuals lacking experience with specialized equipment like the newton sweating thermal manikin, or those seeking permanent government employment rather than a project-based contractual role, will find this position unsuitable.

Working as a Principal Project Scientist at IIT Delhi's Industrial Research & Development Unit offers significant academic prestige and the opportunity to contribute to a DRDO-funded project. While the role is contractual and project-bound, it provides invaluable experience in advanced research and development, enhancing one's profile within the scientific community. It's an excellent stepping stone for career progression in specialized research areas.
