IIT Guwahati Post Doctoral Fellow Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy in Information Security

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified Ph.D. holders in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE), Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE), or Information Technology (IT) with a strong publication record (minimum 3 publications in journals/conference proceedings). Candidates should possess a foundational Master's degree (M.Tech/M.Sc/MCA) and be eager to contribute to cutting-edge project-based research in Information Security. The position offers an excellent opportunity to gain valuable post-doctoral experience at a premier Indian institution.

Candidates without a Ph.D. in the specified fields or those lacking the mandatory publication record should not apply. Individuals seeking long-term, permanent employment might find the ad-hoc and performance-based extension nature of this position unsuitable. Those who prefer not to work on project-specific research within a defined scope might also find this role less appealing.

IIT Guwahati is a nationally recognized Institute of Technology, offering significant academic and research prestige. While the current role is project-based and temporary (up to 2 years), it provides valuable post-doctoral experience that can significantly enhance a researcher's profile for future academic or R&D positions. The project on 'Information Security Education and Awareness' addresses a critical domain, offering scope for impactful contributions and networking within the field.
