Position: Research Professor CART Faculty:

Reporting to: Dy-Director(Research) (CART) Reporting Team: Research teams (Faculty members,
Doctoral, MTech students)
Brief about the profile:

Centre where knowledge is generated are limited to the government-funded Institutes barring a handful of
privately owned and managed exceptions. In order to remain competitive, and stand at par with these
organizations, it is clear that MIT-WPU needs to rapidly create viable research vertical along with the routine
undergraduate and postgraduate programs. As this vertical will contribute to that knowledge creation expected
to happen in Universities. More importantly, there is a need to create an ecosystem within MIT-WPU capable of
supporting employees with research potential providing them with the necessary means like infrastructure so
that knowledge can be created.

Proposed “Centre for Advanced Research and Technology” or CART will operate as a centre of excellence on the
MIT-WPU campus and will be the primary location for knowledge creation on campus. Slated to be developed
over a span of three to five years, the centre will incorporate existing laboratories on campus, upgrade their
capacities, and in addition to these, create an additional research workspace.

Teaching Responsibilities:

Full-time researcher working under this centre may be required to teach a topic/part of the syllabus.
He may not have a regular load or may not be engaged in other administrative tasks. In case of a
faculty working under this centre is also engaged in academics then academic load + API calculations
