Virtual laboratory project is a flagship project under the "National Mission on Education through ICT" (NMEICT) of Ministry of Education, Govt. of India. This is the third phase - extension of the project and 11 leading Institutes of the country are working on this project since 2009. COEP Technological University, Pune formerly College of Engineering Pune is one of the active participants of the project since beginning. More details about this project is available at https://www.vlab.co.in/ . In the third phase - extension of this project simulators related to various engineering domains will be developed which are required as per AICTE model curriculum.
The appointment for this project will be purely temporary and can be terminated any time based on the project closure OR poor performance by the employee. The major requirements of the manpower for this project are to "think innovatively to develop better learning experience for the students, develop simulators which are close to real experiments, develop methods using modern tools to track the performance of the students while performing the online experiments, and understand the basic concepts from domain experts, and convert them in useful simulators".
For all the positions open source software background and proficiency is a must as the project is mainly designed using these open source software.
