Dr. P. J. Narayanan, Director of the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-H) will give a presentation about the institute, ongoing research and education programs, and potential faculty positions. IIIT-H is an autonomous research university set up in 1998 under a not-for-profit public private partnership (N-PPP) model. It was the first of the IIITs in the country. IIIT-H faculty hold PhDs from universities like CMU, UMD, Princeton, INRIA, Cornell, GeorgiaTech, University of Tokyo, USC, Aalto, IITs, IISc, etc. The friendly and scholarly internal environment is central to the vibrancy of the institute. It attracts top students across the country via the JEE (Main) exam. IIIT-H currently has over 70 faculty members and over 1600 students.
IIIT-H has established an ambitious goal to be among the very top of institutions in the world in our areas by 2025. This needs focused research in several segments, productive collaborations, and strong internationalization to attract best faculty, postdocs, and students from all over the world.
The institute has no departments; it is organized as research centers. IIIT-H naturally concentrates on all areas of computing. It also engages deeply with areas in which computing connects with other disciplines. These include Building Sciences, Computational Natural Sciences, Computational Linguistics, Exact Humanities, and Cognitive Sciences. IIIT-H currently has over 100 PhD students and 200 MS by Research students across the different centers. The institute has a vigorous academic environment, with active involvement of several undergraduate students. We introduced several innovative ideas in the BTech curriculum to facilitate UG research. IIIT-H faculty and researchers consistently publish in international conferences and journals.
IIIT-H has made a deep mark in research and education in the country. Dataquest has ranked IIIT-H #3 among all technology institutions from 2012 onwards. IIIT-H students have been representing India in the World finals of ACM Intercollegiate Programming Contest every year from 2009. Students also won prizes at competitions such as CanSat, DUC, RoboCup, and others. IIIT-H is very active in taking research to the society through societal projects and start-up companies.
IIIT-H as an institute has the model, drive, and team to be among the top global institutions. IIIT-H is augmenting its faculty team significantly over the coming years with this in mind. IIIT-H invites highly-driven individuals to both long-term faculty positions and short-term post-doc or visiting positions. IIIT-H is hiring in all areas, with special focus on Machine Learning, Communications, and Hardware/Software Systems. IIIT-H welcomes individuals from all over the world with no citizenship restrictions.
