IIT Roorkee Project Consultant & Other Posts Recruitment 2026 (7 Posts)

This recruitment is ideally suited for highly qualified and motivated researchers with a strong academic background in Physics or related engineering/technical disciplines, particularly those with a PhD for higher-level roles (Project Consultant, Project Fellow) or M.Sc./M.Tech. with GATE/NET for junior/senior research fellow and associate positions. Candidates should have a keen interest in Quantum Enhanced WRF modeling, urban climate system modeling, quantum algorithms, HPC, GPU accelerations, and climate data analysis. Prior relevant experience is essential for most roles, ranging from 2-3 years for specific positions to general research/industrial experience. SC/ST candidates are encouraged to apply as preference is given.

Individuals lacking the specified educational qualifications (PhD, M.Sc. in Physics with GATE/NET, M.Tech. with relevant experience) or the mandatory programming/technical skills for specific project associate/fellow roles should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment might find the 3-year contractual nature unsuitable. Candidates unable to appear for a walk-in interview at IIT Roorkee or unwilling to cover their own travel expenses (no TA/DA) would face logistical challenges.

Working at IIT Roorkee, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research under the National Quantum Mission. These project positions, though contractual, provide invaluable experience in highly specialized and emerging fields, enhancing future career prospects in academia, research, or advanced tech industries. There's also a note that selected JRF candidates might have an opportunity for PhD admission, indicating potential long-term academic growth within the institute.
