Job Description

Project Focus:

The project aims to develop eco-friendly multisensors for humidity, temperature, and CO detection in coal-mine environments. It focuses on integrating these sensors with IoT platforms and drone-based systems for real-time monitoring. The work also includes sensor fabrication, characterization, and field validation under simulated mining conditions.

Role and Responsibilities:

  • Design & development of eco-friendly sensor materials for Multisensor System (humidity, temperature, and CO gas detection).
  • Fabrication and characterization of sensors.
  • Integration of sensors with IoT platforms for real-time data acquisition and development of a drone-based monitoring system.
  • Field testing and validation in simulated coal-mine conditions.
  • Data analysis and documentation for progress reports.
  • Assisting in research publications and prototype demonstration, and perform other duties related to the project as assigned.

Location:

  • Based at the Smart Energy Learning Centre, DAU, Gandhinagar, India.

Professional Development:

  • Supported in professional development with access to career-focused training opportunities.

How to Apply:
Interested candidates must send their detailed Curriculum Vitae with a Cover Letter by July 17, 2026 (applications will continue to be accepted until all positions are filled), through an email to PI ajay_beniwal[at]dau[dot]ac[dot]in

Please write “Application for Research Intern position at SELC (Ref No. CSR-25/BSES/A17-AB/SELC)” in the subject line of the email.
