Senior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding an M.Tech/M.E. or Ph.D. in specialized engineering disciplines (Mechanical, Mechatronics, Control Systems, Marine, Aerospace, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, etc.) who possess a minimum of two years of hands-on experience in MATLAB/Simulink. Candidates with a strong background in underwater vehicle simulation, marine robotics, and control system development, demonstrated through projects, publications, or industrial work, are particularly well-suited for this research-intensive, project-based position.

Individuals lacking the specified M.Tech/M.E. or Ph.D. qualifications or the mandatory two years of relevant experience in MATLAB/Simulink should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this contractual role (11 months) unsuitable. Applicants without experience in marine robotics or underwater vehicle systems may also find themselves at a disadvantage due to the project's specific focus.

Working as an SRF at IIT Guwahati, a premier Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research in a niche and exciting field (underwater glider technology). While it's a short-term, contractual role for 11 months, it provides invaluable experience for career growth in academia, research, or specialized industries. This position can serve as an excellent stepping stone for future Ph.D. candidates or research scientists aiming for advanced roles in robotics and marine engineering.
