This role is ideally suited for ambitious postgraduates holding an M.Tech or M.Sc in Water Resources Engineering, Environmental Science, Civil Engineering, or related fields, coupled with a valid GATE/NET qualification.

Those aspiring for a Ph.D. and seeking valuable research experience within a prestigious institution will find this opportunity highly beneficial.

Individuals lacking the essential M.Tech/M.Sc qualifications or GATE/NET certification should not apply. Those unwilling to engage in fieldwork, uncomfortable with a project-based temporary tenure (2.5 years), or without a genuine interest in hydrological research and data modeling, will find this role unsuitable.
