Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Recruitment 2026: 01 Principal Project Scientist Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Nanotechnology, or related disciplines. Candidates with practical experience in working with semiconductors, optics, and instrumentation, particularly those seeking project-based research opportunities within a prestigious academic environment, will find this position suitable.

Candidates without a PhD in the specified fields or lacking direct experience in semiconductors, optics, and instrumentation should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment will also find this contractual, project-bound role unsuitable, as the appointment is renewable yearly or until project duration, whichever is earlier.

Working as a Principal Project Scientist at IIT Delhi offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research within a premier national institution. While the position is contractual and project-specific (until June 30, 2029), it provides invaluable experience and networking opportunities in advanced technological domains. The role contributes to a critical project focused on ambient AQI measurement, offering a chance to make a tangible impact.
