IIT Roorkee Recruitment 2026: 01 Project Fellow/Research Associate Position

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a PhD in Electrical Engineering (Power System) or Energy Systems Modelling and Analysis, or a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Operations Research/Management, or Applied Optimization in Energy. Candidates should possess strong analytical skills, a keen interest in energy sector regulations and policies, and experience with energy systems modelling and optimization software. The position suits those eager to contribute to cutting-edge research in a prestigious academic environment.

Individuals who do not meet the strict educational qualifications (PhD for Project Fellow, Master's for Research Associate in specified fields) or lack relevant research/industrial experience in the energy sector should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position, or who are unable to engage in research, travel for meetings/workshops, or communicate effectively with stakeholders, would find this role unsuitable.

Working at IIT Roorkee, a globally recognized institution, offers significant prestige and exposure to high-level research in hydro and renewable energy. While a project-based, contractual position, it provides invaluable experience in a critical and evolving sector, enhancing research portfolios and opening doors for future academic, research, or industry careers. The project's focus on regulatory affairs and energy systems modelling offers a unique opportunity for impactful contributions.
