As a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) at Dhirubhai Ambani University (DA-IICT), Gandhinagar, you will have the opportunity to work on a sponsored research project funded by the Space Applications Center-ISRO, Ahmedabad, under their NavIC GAGAN Utilization Programme. The project, titled "Road Infrastructure and Traffic Condition Aware Efficient Scheduling and Mobility of Priority Vehicles in Indian Urban Scenario," aims to address challenges related to traffic management in urban areas. You will be responsible for tasks such as collecting, cleaning, and analyzing real-time and historical vehicle trajectories and incident data from NavIC/GPS-enabled devices and other traffic data sources. Additionally, you will work on training and validating machine learning models using multi-sensor datasets, designing and developing traffic simulation scenarios, and creating approximation algorithms and graph-based models for scheduling and routing problems. Your role will also involve supporting system integration and pilot deployments, as well as preparing technical reports, publications, and project documentation. To be successful in this role, you should hold an M.Tech degree in ICT/Computer/Electronics and Communication/Electrical or equivalent, with a background in Wireless communication and networks. Desirable skills include knowledge of micro-controller programming, proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++/Java and Android Application Development, a good understanding of probability, statistics, graph theory, routing algorithms, or scheduling problems, experience in data analysis and machine learning using Python, familiarity with IoT systems, GNSS/IRNSS NavIC, and vehicular communication protocols, as well as excellent communication and documentation skills. A CSIR-UGC NET or GATE qualification is desirable. This is a temporary position for a duration of three years, with the initial appointment lasting one year and the possibility of extension based on performance. While this position does not guarantee extension or absorption into DA-IICT, the selected candidate will be encouraged to apply for the PhD program at the institute. Interested candidates are required to send their Curriculum Vitae with qualifications and experience details to Dr. Manish Chaturvedi at manish_chaturvedi@dau.ac.in, with the subject line "Application for the JRF position under SAC-ISRO Funded Project NGP-09." Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview based on their CV, qualifications, and relevant experience. The interview, tentatively scheduled for 02-04 July 2025, will assess candidates for the skill set mentioned above. The last date for applications is 27 June 2025, and the expected start date is to be determined. The interview will be conducted in a hybrid mode, with in-person preferred and online options for outstation candidates.
