Openings

IIT Mandi – Research Opportunities

• I have regular openings for PhD and M.Tech (by research), who will have the flexibility to work in the area of multiagent systems, mathematical control theory, fault-tolerant control and controlled environment agriculture.

Himshikhar HerbTech – Internship & Project Opportunities

Himshikhar HerbTech is looking for motivated students, graduates and young researchers interested in Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), sensor technology, hydroponics and smart agriculture.

• Intern – Sensor Development & Integration for Controlled Environment Agriculture
  We are looking for students interested in developing and integrating sensors for monitoring and automation of controlled agricultural environments. The work may involve development and calibration of sensors, temperature, humidity, light, CO₂, pH and EC measurement, sensor interfacing, IoT, data acquisition and integration with controlled-environment agriculture systems.

• Intern / Project Associate – Hydroponics & Crop Testing
  We are looking for students or graduates with an interest or experience in hydroponic crop production and agricultural experimentation. The work may include hydroponic cultivation, nutrient management, pH and EC monitoring, crop growth and yield assessment, and testing and evaluation of hydroponically grown crops.

Preferred backgrounds: Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation, IoT, Embedded Systems, Agricultural Engineering, Agriculture, Horticulture, Agronomy, Plant Science or related disciplines.

Interested candidates may send their CV along with a brief statement of interest to the above email address.
