Senior Research Fellow & Srf

This role is ideal for highly specialized candidates holding a Post Graduate degree (M.Tech/M.E.) or Ph.D. in mechanical, mechatronics, control systems, marine, or related engineering disciplines. Essential is a proven background with at least two years of experience in MATLAB/Simulink, demonstrated through projects, publications, or industrial work, focusing on areas like underwater vehicle simulation, marine robotics, or autonomous navigation systems. Candidates with NET/GATE qualification are preferred.

Individuals lacking the stipulated Post Graduate or Ph.D. qualifications and the mandatory two years of MATLAB/Simulink experience should not apply. Those seeking permanent employment or a role beyond an 11-month contractual project will find this position unsuitable, as it offers no long-term stability or campus accommodation. Candidates expecting TA/DA for interviews will also be disappointed.

Working as a Senior Research Fellow at IIT Guwahati, a premier Indian technical institute, on a project involving cutting-edge 'Design of Underwater Glider based on Hybrid Buoyancy Engine' offers significant research exposure and contributes to a high-impact field. This provides an excellent opportunity for networking within academia and specialized industry sectors. However, as an 11-month contract, it offers limited long-term career progression within this specific project, making it more suited for short-term research contributions or a stepping stone for further academic/research pursuits.
