(A New Research Centre at Dhirubhai Ambani University (Formerly DAIICT) funded by BSES Delhi, India)

Reference Number: CSR-26/BSES/A18-RP/SELC

Applications are invited from highly motivated candidates with good academic records for a full-time, fixed-term Research Fellow position with the Smart Energy Learning Centre (SELC) at the Dhirubhai Ambani University (Formerly DAIICT), Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. The project details, requisite qualifications, and experience are as follows.

Project Title: Solar-Powered IoT Energy Monitoring with AI-ML Forecasting Over Wireless Mesh: Rural Agriculture Pilot

Position and Fellowship:

Junior Research Fellow – 1 post
INR 45,000 per month (all inclusive)

Research Intern – 2 post
1 post with INR 15,000 per month (all inclusive) &
1 post with INR 7,500 per month (all inclusive)
Eligibility Requirements (Research Fellow)
Essential Qualification:
  • M.E./M.Tech. or B.E./B.Tech. in ICT, Electronics & Communication, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering with at least 60% marks.
  • Final year B.Tech students are motivated to apply for internship.
Technical Skills:
  • Strong background in Embedded Systems, IoT hardware, wireless mesh protocols.
  • Experience with Python and lightweight AI-ML models (LSTM, Random Forests) for forecasting and anomaly detection.
  • Knowledge of solar energy harvesting and power management for IoT nodes.
Period of Appointment: This position is temporary for up to 11 months. However, according to the available guidelines, the selected candidate will be encouraged to apply for the Ph.D. program at DAU subject to the prevailing guidelines and admission policy.
Job Description: Design and development of a solar-powered, IoT-based energy monitoring and conservation system that operates over a non-cellular, long-range encrypted wireless mesh network, integrated with lightweight AI/ML algorithms for short-term load forecasting and anomaly detection. Building on prior work in extended-range mesh communication without cellular networks, the system will operate rapidly deployable, deploy-and-forget solar-powered IoT energy nodes.

How to Apply:

  • Interested candidates must send their detailed Curriculum Vitae with a cover letter latest by April 30, 2026, through email to the investigator at rutu_parekh[at]dau[dot]ac[dot]in
  • Please write “Application for Research Fellow position for project CSR-26/BSES/A18-RP/SELC” in the subject line of the email.

Expected start date: - Immediately after offering.
