UoH JRF CEOAS Recruitment 2026

UoH JRF / Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026: Overview

The University of Hyderabad (UoH) is filling Junior Research Fellow (JRF) / Project Associate-I positions at its Centre for Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) in the School of Physics. The positions belong to a research project sponsored by CHESS, DRDO Hyderabad, titled "Understanding and Predicting Marine Atmospheric optical turbulence characteristics in and above boundary layer over North Indian Ocean", led by Principal Investigator Prof. Sreenivas Pentakota. This is a temporary project engagement, not a regular university job.

The project studies how the marine atmospheric boundary layer and turbulence behave over the North Indian Ocean, so it suits you if you have a master's in ocean, atmospheric or meteorological sciences and like working with satellite and in-situ weather and ocean data. Hands-on coding in Python, MATLAB, Fortran or C on Linux, and tools such as GrADS, NCL, Ferret or CDO, will strengthen your application.
