IIT Indore JRF Streamflow Forecasting Recruitment 2026

IIT Indore JRF Streamflow Forecasting Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Indore (IIT Indore) is recruiting a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) for a project in its Civil Engineering department at Simrol, Indore. Funded by IIT Indore, the project is titled Leveraging NCMRWF weather forecasts for enhanced streamflow forecasting with deep learning. The opening is a project-based research appointment focused on using weather forecasts and hydrological data together to improve streamflow predictions.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial appointment: The engagement starts with a tenure of 1 year. This is the initial period stated in the notice, rather than a promise of continuing employment.
• Extension: Your appointment may be extended under the institute's and funding agency's guidelines. An extension is possible, but the notice does not guarantee it or give a final extended tenure.
• Interview travel: No travel allowance or daily allowance will be paid for attending the interview. Keep this condition in mind when planning any interview-related travel.
• Communication: IIT Indore will inform selected applicants by email. The notice does not provide an individual interview slot, so the advertised interview window should not be treated as a personal appointment.

• Organise weather forecasts and hydrological data for streamflow modelling.
• Develop deep learning models for the project's ensemble forecasting system.
• Use NCMRWF weather forecasts as inputs to streamflow predictions.
• Run forecasting experiments for lead times of 1 to 5 days.
• Compare predicted streamflow with the available hydrological observations.
• Document model settings, experiments and research findings.
