Original notice and publication date
The official research-staff index records a 23 September 2026 posting for P.Rect./R&D/2026/199. The SPASE notice lists two Senior Research Analyst positions on a project predicting spacecraft charging under real-time space-environment conditions. This is an existing open notice checked on 15 October, not a newly announced vacancy today.
Qualification and role
The minimum qualification is a PhD or a postgraduate qualification with three years' relevant experience. Desirable backgrounds include specified physics, engineering, computing or related fields, C++ and Python, electromagnetism, differential equations and numerical methods. Work includes charging simulation, prediction models, software and graphical-interface development, and technical reports.
Appointment and application
The appointment is purely temporary for two years. The notice states₹32,400 per month plus 20%HRA based on qualifications. It mentions a possible later PhD-enrolment opportunity for MTech and MSc candidates depending on progress; this is not a guaranteed admission or permanent appointment.
Practical application check
Email the complete resume to rsharma@iitk.ac.in by 20 October 2026 using the original institutional notice as the authority. A fee, exact opening hour, closing time and later corrigendum were not established during this check. Do not infer a separate application portal or payment requirement from a third-party listing.
What to keep in mind
Our recommendation is to connect your numerical methods and programming experience to a specific problem you have solved. Explain your own contribution, what you validated and what remained uncertain, rather than adding unfamiliar spacecraft terminology to a generic resume. Check that your experience dates support the applicable qualification route.
