Led by Dr. Keshav Bharadwaj Ravi, the project brings together civil engineering research and computational approaches.

Posts and Disciplines

• Project Trainee: The notice groups Laboratory Assistant, Technician, Project Assistant and Field Assistant under this role. Its stated area of interest is civil engineering laboratory work.
• Research Associate I, structural research: This postdoctoral role relates to structural health monitoring, fatigue and data from sensors used in civil engineering. The notice also highlights machine learning tools.
• Research Associate I, computational research: This separate postdoctoral role has a computational focus, connecting programming with quantum algorithms and applied engineering.
• Senior Research Fellow: This role covers civil, mechanical, aerospace and allied engineering areas, with non-destructive testing and instrumentation highlighted in the notice.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract period: Your initial appointment lasts 2 months. An extension up to a year depends on satisfactory performance. The notice describes these appointments as temporary project contracts.
• Joining: If selected, you must be ready to join immediately after receiving the offer. Keep this condition in mind when considering your current commitments.
• Accommodation: IISc will not provide accommodation on campus during your appointment. You will need to make your own arrangements for your stay.
• Travel: No travel or daily allowance is available for attending the interview. If you are asked to attend in person, you must cover the cost yourself.
• Project and study: The notice says the project has publication potential and may contribute to thesis work if you separately secure admission as a student in the department. A project appointment does not itself give you student admission.
• Recruitment discretion: IISc may reject an application or cancel recruitment for a post for administrative reasons. The principal investigator may also leave a position vacant if a suitable candidate is not available.
• Accuracy of your details: IISc will check the information in your resume before announcing results. Claims that you cannot support with authentic evidence can lead to rejection.
