Areas of Interest

IIIT Delhi is looking for tenure-track faculty to build strong research groups in various areas of CS/ECE like Software Engineering and Programming Languages, Networks, Digital Media, Machine Learning, Healthcare Informatics, Algorithms and Theory, VLSI and CAD, Energy Systems and Technologies, Biomedical Electronics and Systems, Computer Archi-tecture, Embedded and Control Systems, as well as interdisciplinary areas like IT and Soci-ety (i.e. Sociological Policy, Economic Aspects), Computational Biology and Neuroscience, IT and Agriculture, etc.

Research, Innovation, and Development

The Institute has a strong focus on research, innovation, and development to make an impact through published papers, technologies, and deployments. It has a strong focus on PhD program (it has instituted various policies to attract PhD students and has already recruited 15 scholars in two years). It provides initiation research grant, support for travel for the first few years, support for professional membership, etc. It has implemented the systems of yearly appraisal/feedback and tenure to help faculty members aim high and prevent complacency from setting in.

Education

The Institute also aims to provide excellent education. The BTech(IT) Program has many innovative concepts like starting with the CS courses, allowing long duration projects, streams to allow limited specializations in CS/ECE as well as interdisciplinary areas, etc. In the MTech program, it has both thesis and non-thesis options, and possibility of specialization in areas like Security, data management, etc.

Compensation and Quality of Life

The institute provides a decent compensation (over Rs 11 Lacs/yr for a starting Asst. Prof.), and allows a faculty member to supplement it through research grants, summer sabbaticals in R&D labs/companies, consultancy, etc. It will soon have a modern campus at Okhla, with a Metro station within ½ km, where it will have modern, good quality, and spacious accommodation for faculty. Delhi is widely regarded as one of the best cities in India for living, with excellent air and train connectivity.

Eligibility

The desired profile is: BTech/BE from a good Institute, PhD from a top Institution in India or abroad, good research and publication track record, and a solid future potential. You may be requested for a research statement, a teaching statement, your transcripts, and copies of some of your best papers. Each candidate is expected to give a technical seminar.
