Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial appointment: You would join the project for an initial period of six months. This is a project appointment, and the first term should be considered separately from the possible longer engagement described in the notice.
• Possible extension: The engagement may continue for up to two years, depending on a review of your performance every six months. The longer duration is conditional on those reviews, so it is not a guaranteed term at the outset.
• Project contact: The notice names Dr. Basant Subba in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering as the principal investigator. His listed contact details are basant.subba@iitrpr.ac.in and (01881) 23 2176.
• No automatic entitlement: Meeting the stated minimum requirements does not by itself guarantee that the institute will invite you for an interview. The notice makes clear that it considers both your merit and the needs of the project, so your application will be assessed in that specific research context.

• Carry out research and development for the cybersecurity project.
• Develop proofs of concept for project activities.
• Help generate intellectual property from the research.
• Organize cybersecurity bootcamps.
• Support the organization of hackathons.
• Assist with designing Master Trainer courses.
