Advertisement for Junior Research Fellow (JRF); Project Number: STC-EE-2016203.

Project: RTE-optical-tomography based cloud imaging and tracking

Sponsor: ISRO

Requirements: M.E/M.Tech/M.Sc/B.E/B.Tech with demonstratable capability/inclination in a subset of the following:

(a) Computational electromagnetics, light propagation in atmosphere
(b) Numerical methods (especially for PDEs and Linear Algebra)
(c) Signal processing

Academically inclined candidates with a research potential and interest in the above areas will be preferred. M.Sc/B.E/B.Tech candidates need to have cleared NET/GATE or equivalent.

Project Brief: The problem of cloud imaging and in particular, shape retrieval is of fundamental importance in meteorological studies. Using the fact that the problem of remote sensing the atmosphere can be modeled analogously to that of tissue imaging in optical tomography, in this study, we propose cloud monitoring studies in a radiative transfer equation(RTE) modeled tomographic framework.

Emoluments: Rs 25000/- per month (consolidated).

Duration: Initial appointment will be for at most 1 year.

Enquiries: Any enquiries about the above post may please be sent to Dr Naren Naik (nnaik@iitk.ac.in).

Applications for the above post may please be submitted by both e-mail and hard copy to Dr Naren Naik at the above address. Importantly, in addition to basic academic details of the candidate, the application must contain a statement reflecting compatibility of the candidate with the project requirements stated above (in particular with respect to any subset of the areas of expertise listed above).

Last date of submitting applications (e-mail and hard copy): 6 Jan 2017.
