IITGN Post-Doctoral Fellow Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) is hiring a Post-Doctoral Fellow for the Flood Management Study for Dholera City through its Research & Development Office. The project sits in Civil Engineering and is led by Prof. Vimal Mishra.

This is a fixed-term project appointment at IIT Gandhinagar, with Dholera City as the focus of the flood-management study. The notice brings together water-system modelling, climate information and remote sensing within the same research project.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Appointment period: Your engagement lasts for 9 months or until 31 July 2027, whichever comes first. Both limits apply, so the stated month-based duration does not override the project end point.
• Institute rules: IITGN identifies this appointment as governed by Institute norms. The notice marks that option rather than the funding-agency norms option.
• Shortlisting is not automatic: Meeting the stated minimum requirements does not assure you a place on the shortlist or an appointment. IITGN may use a higher cutoff when considering applications.
• Test invitation: The Institute can decide not to call an applicant for a selection test. The notice does not promise a test invitation to everyone who meets the minimum requirements.
• Filling the post: IITGN may leave the position unfilled in this recruitment round and does not have to provide a reason. Treat the advertised opening as subject to that decision.

• Develop hydrological and hydraulic models for the flood-management study.
• Process and analyse climate data for the project.
• Use remote-sensing methods to support the flood study.
• Prepare technical reports and project documentation.
• Publish research findings in high-quality journals.
• Contribute to project outputs with students and research partners.
