Post-Doctoral Fellow

Indian Institute of Technology - Kanpur; Mumbai; Presencial; INR 670.000 - 949.000; Tempo integral

Resumo da vaga

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KANPUR is seeking a Project Post-Doctoral Fellow for air quality research. The role focuses on air quality monitoring, spatio-temporal analysis, and geospatial modeling using extensive sensor data and AI techniques.

The position requires a Ph.D. in Environmental/Atmospheric/Climate Sciences or related fields, with desirable ML, GIS, and programming skills. Location: Mumbai with on-site work at IIT Kanpur for up to 1 year, renewable based on performance.

Qualificações

• Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences/Atmospheric Sciences/Climate Sciences or closely related field.
• Desirable: Strong background in atmospheric science and air quality research. Knowledge of air quality monitoring sensors/regulatory grade instruments. Experience in machine learning and artificial intelligence models. Significant background in handling and processing large data sets. Experience in GIS analysis. Knowledge of programming languages like FORTRAN, Python, MATLAB, Igore, R, QGIS/ArcGIS.

Responsabilidades

• Air quality monitoring/air quality analysis/spatio-temporal analysis/geospatial analysis/machine learning. This research uses extensive sensor data, mapping tools, and advanced analytical techniques (statistics and machine learning) to understand how air quality varies across land-use areas and time, aiding land-use planning and policy.
• Assess health effects of air pollution exposure by combining location/time data with AI models.
