Project Scientist

This role is ideal for highly qualified and motivated individuals with a strong academic background in GIS, Remote Sensing, Computer Science, or Electronics Engineering. Candidates holding an M.Tech or an equivalent degree, or a B.Tech/M.Sc. with at least two years of relevant R&D experience, who have also qualified NET/GATE, are particularly well-suited. It offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to engage in high-performance computing research funded by MeitY, Govt of India, within a reputable academic institution, with a potential pathway to a Ph.D. program.

Candidates without the specified M.Tech or B.Tech/M.Sc. with 2 years' experience, or those who have not qualified NET/GATE, should not apply as these are essential qualifications. Individuals seeking a permanent government position or long-term job stability might find the 12-month contract (extendable up to one year based on funding) unsuitable. Those not comfortable with applying via a hybrid offline/email process may also find it challenging.

Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) Allahabad is a well-regarded Central Government technical institute. Working on a project funded by MeitY, Govt of India, especially one involving high-performance computing, offers significant research exposure and contributes to a project of national and international relevance (India-EU initiative). While the position is contractual, it provides valuable experience for a career in research, potentially leading to a Ph.D. enrollment, and enhances one's profile for future academic or R&D roles.
