Description supplied by the original job listing.
We are recruiting PhD students at IIT Bombay (Department of Civil Engineering) for the Spring 2026–27 intake, with classes starting in January 2027. You will take ideas from AI models to working autonomous systems for Indian traffic: design the algorithms, build the hardware, and test them on scaled and full-scale vehicles.
What you will work on
Connected and autonomous vehicles: V2X applications, autonomous platforms, intelligent ADAS
Embedded systems and prototyping: sensing, sensor fusion, PCB prototyping, system integration
AI/ML and data-driven modelling: transportation modelling, prediction, simulation, traffic operations
Human factors and behaviour: driver physiology, operator psychology, biometric sensing
Digital logistics: trusted logistics, blockchain e-BL, fleet intelligence, supply-chain AI
Road safety and infrastructure: mixed-traffic safety, roadside monitoring and warning systems
What we offer
Live testbeds: scaled and full-scale vehicle and V2X experiments on our research platform (Indian Patent 578549)
Research that goes beyond papers to deployable systems
Cross-disciplinary labs across AI, robotics and transportation
Projects with industry and start-ups in mobility, logistics and EVs
Financial support as per IIT Bombay norms, e.g. Teaching Assistantship of ₹37,000/month for the first two years (₹42,000 thereafter) or Research Assistantship of ₹42,000/month (₹47,000 thereafter)
Who should apply
A bachelor's or master's degree in civil, mechanical, electrical/electronics, computer science, data science, industrial engineering, robotics/embedded systems or a related discipline
IIT Bombay eligibility: first class or 60% marks (55% for SC/ST). B.Tech/B.E. and M.Sc. applicants also need a valid GATE score or two years of work experience; IIT graduates with a CPI of 8.0 or above are exempt from GATE
Hands-on experience with C/C++, Python or embedded hardware is a plus
