Project Assistant

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian nationals holding an M.Tech/M.Sc or B.Tech/B.Sc degree in Geoinformatics, Remote Sensing, Computer Science, or related engineering fields. Candidates with strong academic records (minimum 75% or 7.5 CGPA for M.Tech/M.Sc, 80% or 8.0 CGPA for B.Tech/B.Sc) and practical knowledge of Hyperspectral/Microwave Remote Sensing, AI-ML applications, technical writing, and coding experience are particularly well-suited for this short-term research project.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those who require a higher pay scale than the consolidated Rs. 25,000 per month should not apply. Candidates lacking the specific technical qualifications or relevant academic background in the mentioned fields will not be considered. Those looking for long-term career stability within a single role may find the 12-month contractual nature of this position unsuitable.

Working as a Project Assistant at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK) Surathkal offers valuable research experience within a prestigious Central Government technical institution. While the position is contractual and project-specific, it provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to significant research (funded by VGST) in Geospatial datasets and machine learning. This experience can be a strong foundation for future academic or research-oriented careers, enhancing one's professional profile within the scientific community.
