Department of Electrical Engineering
Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi
Two research positions are available in the Department of Science and Technology
sponsored project titled “Personal Authentication using Hand-Based Biometrics”.
Details of the Project: In the modern social and business environment, many critical
processes require higher levels of physical security and trusted e-security that cannot be
provided by traditional identification methods such as ID cards and passwords. Biometrics
refers to the identification of human beings based on their physiological or/and behavioural
characteristics. Biometric characteristics are unique to an individual and unlike passwords or
PINs, they cannot be lost or forgotten.
The objective of this project proposes to develop hand-based biometrics system/
techniques which can deliver higher confidence/performance using hand-based discriminatory
features. The goal is to acquire multiple biometrics in single shot, using state-of-art-imaging,
select the best combination of features, to achieve best possible online performance. The
ongoing project offers rare opportunity for the selected candidates to step in the fastest
growing and demanding field of biometric recognition.
Vacancy and Duration: Project Scientist – One, Project Associate – One; Each of
these two positions are initially for one year but extendable up to two more years.
Salary: Salary will commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the
candidates. The maximum salary for project scientist is Rs. 15,800/- (consolidated per
month) and for project associate is Rs. 10,800/- (consolidated per month).
Qualifications: Project Scientist – M.Tech/M.Eng. in Computer Science/ Information
Technology/ Signal Processing/Communication Engg., or related areas.
Project Associate – B.Tech/B.Eng. in Computer Science/ Information Technology/
Signal Processing/Communication Engg., or related areas.
The candidates with equivalent qualifications (MCA/MSc) but experience in image
processing and pattern recognition applications can also apply.
Candidates must have suitable experience and knowledge of image processing and
pattern recognition hardware/software techniques. The selected candidates will be
highly encouraged to register for higher degree (M.S.(R) or Ph.D.) as full time
students in the institute.
The last date for the application is 24th September, 2006. The interested candidates
can submit their application and CV (i) preferably by an email to ajaykr@ieee.org, or
(ii) by surface mail addressed to Dr. Ajay Kumar, II-202, Department of Electrical
Engineering, IIT Delhi, Hauz Khas, New Delhi – 110016.
