Project Research Scientist & Project Research Assistant

This role is ideal for highly motivated and result-oriented research scholars with a strong background in engineering (Electrical/Electronics/Computer/IT) and specific exposure to Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA, and Power Systems. Candidates with PhD, M.Tech/M.E., or B.Tech/B.E. degrees who possess relevant experience in cyber security for Industry 4.0 projects and a keen interest in interdisciplinary research will find this opportunity suitable. The Project Research Scientist role requires significant prior experience, while the Project Research Assistant position is suitable for B.Tech/B.E. graduates interested in research.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely temporary and contractual positions for a 1-year tenure, subject to project funding and performance review. Those without a background in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Computer, or Information Technology, or lacking specific exposure to ICS, SCADA, or power systems, may not be suitable. Candidates expecting on-campus accommodation will be disappointed, as it is not provided.

Working at VJTI, a renowned and historic engineering institute, offers excellent exposure to state-of-the-art technologies and hands-on experience in a critical domain like cyber security for industrial control systems. While the positions are temporary and project-specific, they provide valuable research experience and networking opportunities within a prestigious academic setting, which can be a strong foundation for future careers in research, academia, or specialized industry roles. The "Centre of Excellence" tag adds to the reputational value of the experience gained.
