Project Research Scientist

This role is ideal for experienced research scholars with a PhD, MTech, or BTech degree in relevant engineering disciplines (Electrical, Electronics, Computer, IT, Mechanical) and a strong background in drone cybersecurity, Industry 4.0, or digital twin technologies. Candidates with prior project management exposure and a willingness to work on temporary, interdisciplinary assignments focusing on research and development for 1-year tenure will find this position suitable. The role requires critical thinking, innovative mindset, and readiness for site visits.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with long-term tenure should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, contractual, project-specific position with no claim for regularization. Candidates without the specified minimum years of experience (4-6 years, depending on educational qualification) in relevant areas will not be considered. Those looking for roles with on-campus accommodation will also find this unsuitable, as no such facilities are provided.

Working at VJTI, a century-old premier engineering institute, especially within its Centre of Excellence, offers significant academic and research prestige. The project's focus on cutting-edge drone cybersecurity for Industry 4.0 provides excellent exposure to state-of-the-art technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration. While the position is temporary, it offers a strong platform for publishing research and contributing to advanced technological domains, enhancing one's professional profile significantly for future research or industry roles.
