This opportunity is ideal for highly experienced postgraduates and PhD holders in specialized fields such as Food & Nutrition, Biotechnology, Food Process Engineering, and Public Health. Candidates should possess a strong background in research, project management, and a proven track record of engagement with government bodies, donors, and other stakeholders. Those with 3 to 10+ years of relevant experience, demonstrating leadership capabilities and excellent communication skills, will find these roles suitable.

Important Considerations

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or fresh graduates without significant, specific work experience in the mentioned fields should not apply. This role is contractual and project-based, making it unsuitable for those looking for long-term job security or unwilling to travel (up to 20% of the time annually).

Career Impact

Working with IIT Delhi, a top-tier research institution, offers significant academic and professional prestige. While project-based, these roles provide valuable exposure to advanced research, collaboration with national and international partners, and opportunities to contribute to high-impact projects. The experience gained is highly transferable, enhancing future career prospects in research, academia, and specialized industry sectors.
