Who Can Apply?

• Qualification: M.Tech / M.E. or an equivalent degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation, or a related field. A four-year Bachelor's degree or a five-year integrated degree in a related engineering discipline is also considered.
• Desirable Skills: Knowledge of sensor interfacing for chemical/biomedical sensing, IoT-based data acquisition and wireless communication (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa), signal conditioning, analog/digital electronics, PCB design, and programming in C/C++, Python, or MATLAB.
• Preferred Background: Understanding of water quality monitoring, biosensors, electrochemical sensing, and healthcare diagnostics related to fluoride, calcium, and heavy metal exposure, plus awareness of calibration and validation protocols for sensors.

Salary

• You will get a consolidated monthly fellowship of Rs. 37,000 plus HRA, as per ANRF rules.
• Accommodation: University hostel accommodation may be provided, subject to availability.

Selection Process

Selection for this position will be done in the following stages:

1. Shortlisting: Candidates will be shortlisted for interview based on merit. The project team can apply additional screening criteria if a large number of applications come in.
