IIT Indore Research Project Specialist Biochar 2026

IIT Indore Research Project Specialist Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Indore (IIT Indore) is hiring a Research Project Specialist for an institute-funded study on biochar made from yard trimmings. The project looks at using this material as a low-cost adsorbent to remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide from biogas.

The study compares pristine, nitrogen-modified and iron-modified biochar prepared at different temperatures. Its scope connects material preparation and characterisation with gas-cleaning performance, repeated use of the material and an initial assessment of technical and economic feasibility for cleaner biomethane production.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Fixed project term: The appointment lasts two months. The notice expressly rules out an extension, so you should plan around the stated short engagement.
• Joining: If selected, you must join immediately after receiving the offer. Keep that condition in mind when considering your availability for this project.
• Applicable terms: Your appointment will follow the institute and funding-agency conditions that apply to the project, including conditions introduced when needed.
• Communication: Only shortlisted applicants receive an interview email. The institute will share the Google Meet link with them before the interview. You should watch the email address used in your application for that message, since the notice limits interview communication to shortlisted applicants.

• Late receipt: The principal investigator does not accept responsibility for email delays or other reasons why material fails to arrive on time. Such delays can lead to rejection.
• Committee authority: The selection committee's decision is final. Taking part in this recruitment remains subject to the project's stated appointment conditions.
