Project Scientist I

This role is most suitable for candidates holding a doctoral degree in science or a master's degree in engineering/technology, combined with relevant experience in academic project administration, research, and digital humanities. Individuals passionate about interdisciplinary research in areas like Humanities, Social Sciences, AI & Ethics, and Indian Knowledge Systems, seeking a temporary, performance-based role at a premier institution, would be well-suited.

Those without a postgraduate degree in the specified fields or relevant experience in project administration/research should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment will find this contractual, temporary position unsuitable, as it is initially for one year and extendable based on performance.

IIT Madras is a globally recognized institution, offering excellent exposure and research opportunities. While the position is temporary and project-based, it provides significant experience working within a prestigious academic environment, which can greatly enhance future career prospects in research and academia. The high pay scale indicates a senior research role.
