Key Responsibilities
Teach advanced courses in High Voltage Engineering, including HV testing techniques, insulation coordination, and surge phenomena, to postgraduate students. Develop and update curriculum content in alignment with UGC norms and emerging industry standards in power transmission and distribution. Supervise M.Tech and Ph.D. students, guiding their research projects in high-voltage applications and dielectric materials.
Lead sponsored research projects in collaboration with utilities like NTPC, Tata Power, or state transmission companies. Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, maintaining a strong academic output. Present research outcomes at national and international conferences in power systems and high-voltage engineering.
Participate in curriculum design and accreditation processes for NBA and NAAC assessments at Cambridge Institute Of Technology. Mentor junior faculty members and assist in securing research grants from agencies such as SERB, DST, or industry CSR funds. Contribute to the development of state-of-the-art HV laboratories and testing facilities at the institute.
Who Can Apply
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in High Voltage Engineering from a recognized university. Candidates with post-doctoral research experience or industry collaboration in HV systems will be preferred. Those without a Ph.D. but holding UGC-NET with JRF in Electrical Sciences may apply for Associate Professor roles as per UGC guidelines.
A minimum of five years of teaching and research experience in a university or research institution is required. Prior experience in guiding Ph.D. students and securing external research funding is desirable. Familiarity with high-voltage testing standards (IEC, IEEE) and simulation tools like PSCAD or EMTP is advantageous.
Research Opportunities
Cambridge Institute Of Technology offers opportunities to lead collaborative projects with PSUs and private sector players in grid modernization and renewable integration. Faculty members can access internal seed grants and external funding through DST, SERB, or industry partnerships for HV research initiatives. Research outcomes can be published in journals such as IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery or High Voltage.
The university encourages interdisciplinary projects linking high-voltage engineering with smart grids, energy storage, and digital substations. Researchers can participate in national missions like the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM) or state-level energy initiatives in Jharkhand. Patent filings and technology transfer to industry are supported through the institute’s IP cell.
Ph.D. Supervision
As a Professor in High Voltage Engineering, the candidate will guide doctoral students in their thesis work, from topic selection to final defense. Responsibilities include thesis evaluation, research paper reviews, and ensuring compliance with UGC regulations for Ph.D. programs. Supervision extends to experimental validation and field studies in collaboration with utilities.
Faculty members are expected to maintain an active research group, organizing seminars and workshops for students and industry professionals. Thesis committees will include external experts from IITs, NITs, or national labs to ensure academic rigor. Cambridge Institute Of Technology provides administrative support for student registration, lab access, and conference participation.
Perks and Pay
The salary for this position ranges from Rs.60,000 to Rs.90,000 per month as per UGC norms for Professor roles in state private universities. Additional benefits include research grants for project expenses, conference travel support, and access to university-funded laboratories. Housing assistance and medical benefits are provided in accordance with Cambridge Institute Of Technology policies.
Faculty members receive annual increments based on performance and research output, with opportunities for sabbaticals and visiting scholar programs. The institute supports patent filing costs and open-access publication fees for high-impact research. Professional development funds are available for attending short courses or workshops in emerging HV technologies.
The role offers a platform to shape the future of power engineering education and research in eastern India. Cambridge Institute Of Technology provides a collaborative environment with access to modern HV testing equipment and industry networks. Faculty members contribute to policy discussions and technical standards through affiliations with professional bodies like IEEE PES and IET.
