INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, ROORKEE (Department of Hydrology) Recruitment 2026: 1 Project Fellow Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a PhD in Hydrology, Civil Engineering, Water Resources, or Environmental Sciences, possessing a strong academic publication record in SCI-indexed journals and practical experience in climate data analysis and modelling. Candidates proficient in GIS software (ArcGIS, QGIS) and programming languages like R or Python will be highly preferred.

Those without a PhD in the specified fields, or lacking a substantial publication record and practical experience in climate data analysis and modelling, should not apply. The position is initially for a short duration (3 months), which might be a dealbreaker for candidates seeking long-term, permanent employment immediately. Applicants not willing to relocate to Bhubaneswar for the project will also find this unsuitable.

Working as a Project Fellow at a prestigious institution like IIT Roorkee, especially within its renowned Department of Hydrology, offers significant academic exposure and an excellent opportunity to contribute to a critical project on stormwater management. While initially a contractual position, it provides valuable research experience and networking opportunities, which can be a strong stepping stone for future academic or research careers, particularly for those looking to enhance their portfolio in climate change and hydrological studies.
