IIT Gandhinagar Post-Doctoral Fellow Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by 25 Aug (Water Resources/Hydrology)

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT Gandhinagar) has released its Post-Doctoral Fellow Recruitment 2026 notification under Advertisement No. SPON/70142/Adv00300 dated 17 August 2026, inviting applications for 1 post on a contractual basis. Eligible candidates can apply online until 25 August 2026. Applicants need a PhD in Civil Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Hydrology, Environmental Engineering, Systems and Control, or a closely related field, along with demonstrated research experience in at least two of the following areas: mathematical or hydrological modelling of water systems, urban drainage or flood modelling, dynamical systems and control, or physics-based data-driven modelling. The Post-Doctoral Fellow role at IIT Gandhinagar requires candidates to have experience with numerical modelling and scientific programming, along with evidence of research ability through peer-reviewed publications or comparable scholarly outputs. Candidates who have submitted their doctoral thesis may also apply, subject to Institute rules, and academic qualifications from Graduation onward must meet a minimum of 60% or equivalent grade, with 55% or equivalent required in class 10th and 12th. Selection for this IIT Gandhinagar post is based on an Interview, with no separate written examination. Selected candidates will receive a consolidated monthly pay ranging from Rs. 72,000 to Rs. 84,000, on a contractual basis. Interested candidates should apply online through the IIT Gandhinagar project staff recruitment portal well before the 25 August 2026 deadline, since there is no application fee for any category. This IIT Gandhinagar Post-Doctoral Fellow Recruitment 2026 offers researchers in water resources, hydrology, and systems modelling a well-compensated postdoctoral opportunity focused on urban drainage, flood modelling, and dynamical systems research at an Institute of National Importance in Gujarat. This IIT Gandhinagar Post-Doctoral Fellow position sits at the intersection of hydrology, urban drainage, and dynamical systems modelling, a genuinely interdisciplinary combination, so candidates should highlight research experience spanning at least two of the listed focus areas rather than presenting a narrowly single-discipline profile — the notification explicitly requires demonstrated experience in at least two of the four listed research areas, not just one.

• PhD in Civil Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Hydrology, Environmental Engineering, Systems and Control, or a closely related field
• Demonstrated research experience in at least two of: hydrological modelling, urban drainage/flood modelling, dynamical systems/control, physics-guided data-driven modelling
• Experience with numerical modelling and scientific programming
• Evidence of research ability through peer-reviewed publications

• Not specified in this notification
