IIT Gandhinagar Invites Application for Project Associate Recruitment 2022

IIT, Gandhinagar, - Gujarat

IIT Gandhinagar invites applications for the position of Project Associate in a research project sponsored by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), UK

1. Project title: Novel laser-based monitoring of key environmental parameters — addressing well-being, livelihood and a healthier environment in developing regions of India

2. Post Name: Project Associate

3. Project description:

a. A high-sensitivity gas sensing system is currently under development to detect hazardous gases in the atmosphere.

b. This activity is part of a research project sponsored by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), UK.

c. The objective is to develop a system that can measure the mole fraction of various greenhouse gases for real-time ambient air quality monitoring.

d. The system uses the powerful modern techniques of tuneable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) and photoacoustic absorption spectroscopy (PAS).

e. Mid-infrared quantum cascade laser diodes will be used to detect the gases.

f. TDLS is ideally suited for this purpose because the measurements are absolute in nature (no calibration required), high-sensitivity (low ppm to ppb), in situ, non-invasive concentration measurements of the four gases can be made simultaneously with very low cross-sensitivity.

g. The project will use recently developed calibration-free first harmonic (If) and second harmonic (2f) wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) algorithms that we have developed in our lab.

4. Eligibility Criteria:

The selected candidate would satisfy the following conditions — A Bachelor's (BE, BTech) or Master's (MSc, MTech) degree in Electronics Engineering/ Electronics & Communications Engineering/ Instrumentation / Electrical Engineering from a recognized academic institute

5. Compensation: Rs 31000 — 35000 per month (consolidated)

6. Duration of appointment: The appointment will initially be for a year with the possibility of renewal for up to one more year depending on the performance and subject to the extension of the project by the funding agency.
