IITH Postdoctoral Associate Quantum Recruitment 2026

IITH Postdoctoral Associate Quantum Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT Hyderabad) is engaging a Postdoctoral Research Associate in its Department of Electrical Engineering for a time-bound project led by Professor Shiv Govind Singh. The work centres on developing superconducting electrical resonators and vertical interconnects for quantum applications, with support from SRSTI Quantum Pvt. Ltd. This is an on-campus role for an experienced researcher whose doctoral work and postdoctoral record align closely with superconducting devices and microfabrication.

The project connects device design, simulation and fabrication. IIT Hyderabad is looking for someone who can move between COMSOL or Ansys modelling, clean-room fabrication and quantum resonator development rather than working in only one part of that chain. Experience with superconducting vertical interconnects for three-dimensional integration is particularly important because it sits directly within the project's technical scope.

Your research record will be assessed alongside practical fit. The notice expects strong academic performance, clear technical writing and good communication, as well as published work in high-quality indexed journals. The position therefore suits a researcher who can plan device work, discuss results with the project team and turn technical findings into well-structured research outputs.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Fixed tenure: The appointment is for one year and is tied to the named research project.
• On-site work: You must work within the IIT Hyderabad campus; this is not described as a remote or hybrid appointment.
• Campus accommodation: Institute accommodation may be available, but it is subject to availability and provided without an HRA component under institute norms.
• Shortlisting: Meeting the minimum criteria does not guarantee that you will be called for a personal interview.
• Communication: Only shortlisted applicants will receive interview information by email, including the date arranged by the selection committee.
• Vacancy discretion: The principal investigator may change the number of openings or keep the position open until a suitable researcher is found.
• No suitable applicant: IIT Hyderabad may leave the role vacant and issue a fresh notice with an extended window if the committee does not find the right match.
• Relevant background: Candidates with prior work in the project's technical areas will receive preference during assessment.

Application Submission Notes

Send your CV and cover letter to sgsingh@ee.iith.ac.in. Use the email subject “POSTDOC in Quantum Applications” so the project team can identify your application correctly. There is no separate public application form or portal listed for this project appointment.

You may also use the same email address for a genuine clarification about the role. Keep your CV focused on the simulations, fabrication work, resonator research, interconnect experience and publications that directly show your fit for the project.
