IIT ISM Senior Project Associate Electrical 2026

IIT ISM Senior Project Associate Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad (IIT ISM) is hiring a Senior Project Associate for a sponsored research project in Electrical Engineering. The Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, supports the project, with Prof. Sanjoy Mandal as principal investigator.

The project focuses on AI-integrated sensors for continuous monitoring of microplastic pollution in the ocean environment, with the wider aim of improving seaweed and fishery production. Your engagement is connected to this research project and its sensor-development work.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project duration: The notice gives a project tenure of two years. It does not separately promise a two-year appointment for the person selected, so keep the distinction between project duration and your appointment terms in mind.
• Research reference: The institute identifies the work as project SRDP 1342G. This reference and the principal investigator help you distinguish it from other project openings listed by IIT ISM.
• Travel and stay: You must arrange your own accommodation in Dhanbad if a visit is needed. The institute will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the interview.

Application Submission Notes

Apply as the official notification directs. The supplied notice identifies the project and the principal investigator but does not give an application form link, a submission email or a postal application address. The project-opening page also does not establish a separate submission route for this role.

Application-route clarification is needed before you send your application. Use the notice and its project reference when checking the institute’s instructions, and do not treat an unrelated project’s form or contact address as the route for this opening.
