IISER Bhopal Project Associate II Quantum Recruitment 2026

IISER Bhopal Project Associate II Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal (IISER Bhopal) is hiring a Project Associate-II for quantum communication research in its Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The work belongs to the National Quantum Mission, supported by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. It brings quantum physics and communication networks into the same research project.

The project's focus is realistic models for quantum communication. It explores how to simulate hybrid networks that use classical communication protocols alongside quantum protocols, so the research crosses the boundary between these approaches. This is a project engagement linked to that research programme at Bhopal.
