IITGN Postdoctoral Fellow Civil Engineering Recruitment 2026

IITGN Post-Doctoral Fellow Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) is hiring a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Civil Engineering under Prof. Vimal Mishra. The Research & Development Office lists the work under the title Research Project, with a focus on hydrology, climate-related applications and water management.

This is a fixed-term research appointment at IIT Gandhinagar. The project connects physical models of water systems with data-driven forecasting and digital-twin applications, bringing these approaches into the same research setting.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial term: Your appointment is for 1 year. The notice describes a temporary project position, so the advertised engagement has a defined initial duration.
• Possible extension: IITGN may extend the appointment based on satisfactory performance. The notice makes performance the condition for continuation and does not specify the length of any extension.
• No automatic shortlisting: Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee that you will be shortlisted or appointed. The Institute may use a higher cutoff while considering applications for this round.
• Test invitation: IITGN reserves the right not to call an applicant for a selection test. You should not treat meeting the minimum requirements as confirmation that you will receive a test invitation.
• Recruitment outcome: The Institute may decide not to fill the position through this round and may do so without giving a reason. The advertised opportunity therefore remains subject to the Institute’s decision to make an appointment.

• Develop hydrological and hydrodynamic models for flood and drought applications.
• Build data-driven models for hydrological forecasting.
• Process satellite and sensor observations for water-system studies.
• Connect regional climate projections with water-management systems.
• Analyse geospatial, hydrometeorological, remote-sensing and infrastructure data for Indian regions.
• Publish research and contribute to project outputs with students and research partners.
• Build AI-driven digital twins using machine-learning emulators and supercomputing infrastructure.
