Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee Post Doctoral Fellowship 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly motivated and accomplished PhD holders in Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or Transportation Engineering, with a strong research background in AI, machine learning, deep learning, and transportation planning. Candidates with a proven publication record (Q1/Q2 journals as first author) and proficiency in Python are particularly well-suited. It's a great opportunity for those seeking to conduct independent, impactful research under a distinguished mentor at a premier Indian institution.

Individuals without a completed PhD (or thesis submitted with a certificate ready at joining) are not eligible. Those lacking experience in relevant research areas, programming skills, or a strong publication record will find it challenging to qualify. The position is purely temporary, and benefits applicable to permanent employees, like LTC and PDA, do not apply, which might be a dealbreaker for those seeking long-term employment benefits.

Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IITR) is an institute of national importance, known for its strong research focus. A Post Doctoral Fellowship here, especially under Prof Amit Agarwal in an emerging field like AI-Driven Urban Mobility Simulation, offers significant academic prestige and excellent networking opportunities. While temporary, it provides a strong foundation for future academic or research careers, with potential for impactful research publications and contributions to a critical area.
