Faculty Recruitment:

IISc has the open call for applications system for faculty recruitment. Applications from individuals with an excellent academic and research track record are invited throughout the year. Applicants should have a PhD in their area of research, should preferably have 2-3 years postdoctoral research/industrial experience, and an outstanding publication record. They should be able to pursue an independent programme of original research and teaching at the post-graduate level.  

Women candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Candidates from under-represented categories are specially encouraged to apply.

Please visit this page for IISc Special Recruitment Drive for Assistant Professors from SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PWD categories. Application Deadline is 31 October 2021

 The application material is scrutinised by a faculty search committee consisting of ECE faculty members and references may be sought from experts. Prospective faculty member may be invited by the department to spend a couple of days at the department. In view of the prevailing pandemic situation, virtual visits may be allowed.  During the visit the candidate gives a talk about his/her research and also interacts with members of the faculty. If the faculty members decide that the candidate will be a valuable addition to the department, the department makes a recommendation to the Director through the Dean of the Division of Electrical, Electronics and Computer Sciences. The above described process normally requires two to three months.  The Director sets up a selection committee on a suitable date. At least two experts from outside the Institute will be invited to participate in the selection committee proceedings.

The areas of specialisation include (but are not limited to) the following:
