Current status (verified 21 September 2026): The earlier static vacancy list will age quickly because faculty positions open and close independently across IITs, NITs and universities. This page is now maintained as a discipline-specific search hub using rolling institutional recruitment sources rather than as a promise that every older vacancy remains open.
If you are a PhD in Civil Engineering with expertise in hydrology, water resources, climate change, remote sensing, or hydrological modelling, this curated list is designed for you. Here you will find a mix of active and rolling faculty openings across leading Indian institutes, including IITs, NITs, and a premier state-funded engineering college.
Each opportunity is presented in a clean, vertical format so it reads well on both desktop and mobile. For every role, you can quickly see the institution, specialization fit, key dates, and direct official links. All official links can be opened in a new tab when you add them to your website editor.
