Mode 1
Any well reputed Computer Science researcher from any part of the world can apply. The occupant of the Chair will also hold a regular Professor position in Computer Science and Engineering Department at IIT Kanpur. This mode is likely to be of interest primarily to researchers of Indian Origin.
The salary for the occupant will be that of a senior Full
Professor, which is around Rs 30,000 per month. In addition,
the Institute will provide a bunglow-style, 3-bedroom house
on campus. Travel cost will also be reimbursed. From the
Chair endowment, the occupant will get every year a grant of
about Rs 3.75 lakhs, which can be used for travel, equipment,
hiring staff, etc. It may be pointed out that for graduate
students, the Institute provides full scholarship from its
own funds (and the grant does not have to support them).
In this mode, the occupant will be given a salary or
honorarium consistent with his/her experience (likely to
be between Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 30,000 per month.) In addition,
the occupant will have from the endowment a grant of about
Rs. 3.75 lakhs for one year. This can be used to cover the
travel expenses of the occupant (both domestic and international
travel), and other contingency expenses. The Department will
provide accommodation on Campus, which can also be furnished.
It is expected that during the stay, the occupant will
offer one course every semester, and strengthen the
research program in the Department in his/her area.
B.Tech. projects and M.Tech. thesis may also be guided.
In this mode, the occupant will be given a honorarium of about
Rs. 1,000 per day. In addition, the occupant's travel expenses, and
other contingency expenses, can be covered by the Chair endowment.
The occupant will also be provided accommodation in the Guest House
of IITK campus (which is furnished and also has dining facilities).
It is expected that during the stay, the occupant will give
some seminars, offer some workshop, collaborate with faculty
members in suitable courses, and provide inputs to strengthen
the research program in the Department in his/her area.
