The Department of Hydro and Renewable Energy at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee is inviting applications for two project positions: Project Fellow and Research Associate, as part of a collaborative project with NHPC Limited to develop a Real Time Digital Simulator for Pumped Storage Plants (PSPs). The project focuses on developing models and algorithms for transient and steady state modeling of PSPs, with applications in real time simulations for the development and commissioning of a production-grade digital simulator. Eligibility: The Project Fellow position requires a PhD in Power Systems or Hydropower Engineering. The Research Associate position requires a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (Power System), Mechanical Engineering (transient fluid mechanics), or Hydropower Engineering. Candidates with experience in Matlab/Simulink for modeling steady state and transients in electric power systems, hydraulic turbines, or hydropower water conductor systems are preferred. Experience with SCADA systems is also desirable. Funding: The Project Fellow will receive a monthly stipend ranging from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1,00,000 plus HRA, while the Research Associate will receive Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 75,000 plus HRA. The initial appointment is for one year, extendable up to two years or until the project duration ends. Application Process: Interested candidates should send their applications, including a detailed CV and attested copies of degree and experience certificates, to Prof. Himanshu Jain at [email protected] by March 10, 2026, 5 PM. Preference will be given to SC/ST candidates with equal qualifications and experience. No TA/DA will be provided for attending the interview. Research Areas: The project is ideal for candidates interested in power systems, hydropower engineering, pumped storage plants, real time digital simulation, Matlab/Simulink modeling, and SCADA systems. The work will also involve organizing meetings, workshops, and conferences, as well as project-related travel. For more details, refer to the official advertisement and contact Prof. Himanshu Jain at the Department of Hydro and Renewable Energy, IIT Roorkee.

The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, through its Department of Hydro and Renewable Energy, is inviting applications for project staff positions at the newly established Centre for Regulatory Affairs. The available roles include Project Fellow (requiring a PhD in electrical engineering with a focus on power systems or in energy systems modelling and analysis) and Research Associate (requiring a Master's degree in electrical engineering, operations research/management, or applied optimization in energy). The project staff will engage in reviewing and analyzing power and energy sector regulations and policies both in India and globally, as well as performing energy systems modelling tasks such as capacity expansion, production cost simulation, and resource adequacy analysis. The work environment is research-intensive, with opportunities to organize and participate in meetings, workshops, and conferences. Experience with optimization-related software is desirable. The positions offer competitive monthly emoluments (Project Fellow: Rs. 40,000–1,00,000 + HRA; Research Associate: Rs. 30,000–75,000 + HRA) and are initially for one year, extendable up to five years based on performance. Applicants should submit a detailed CV, attested copies of degrees and certificates, and experience documentation. Preference is given to SC/ST candidates with equal qualifications. The deadline for applications is March 10, 2026, by 5 PM. For more details, refer to the official advertisement or contact Assistant Professor Himanshu Jain at [email protected].
