INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, ROORKEE (IIT Roorkee) 2026 Recruitment: Project Fellow - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated PhD holders in Engineering or Science with a specialized background in Hyperspectral Remote Sensing. Candidates with at least two years of relevant experience in data collection, analysis, and RTM code development are particularly suited. Recently graduated PhD scholars with an exceptional publication record are also encouraged to apply, especially those keen on contributing to significant defense research sponsored by DRDO.

Individuals without a PhD in the specified fields or lacking relevant experience in hyperspectral remote sensing should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles outside project-based research will find this position unsuitable due to its contractual nature and fixed two-year duration. Applicants unwilling to relocate to Roorkee or commit to intensive research and publication will also not be a good fit.

Working as a Project Fellow at IIT Roorkee, a premier Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant academic and research prestige. The project's sponsorship by DRDO further enhances its importance, providing exposure to defense-related research. While contractual, this role is an excellent stepping stone for a career in advanced research, academic publishing, and patent development, offering opportunities for professional growth within a leading institution.
