The Indian Institute of Science is pleased to announce the establishment of the Center for infrastructure, Sustainable Transportation and Urban Planning (CiSTUP) with generous financial contribution from Government of Karnataka to develop a unique expertise having an interface in the areas of infrastructure, sustainable transportation and urban planning. CiSTUP will be engaged in several activities such as Research and Development, Academic programs, Training programs and Consultancy projects in the areas of infrastructure, sustainable transportation systems and urban planning. The centre will promote outreach / training activities to the stake holders in the areas of infrastructure, sustainable transportation & traffic engineering and urban planning.
The new center CiSTUP in collaboration with Department of Civil Engineering is looking for bright, young and motivated Indian nationals for recruitment at the Assistant Professor level. Applications are also welcome for higher positions. Visit IISc web site (http://www.iisc.ernet.in/content_oppfacposopenadvt.html) for details of qualifications, salary structure, and preparation of application.
The field of expertise of the candidate could be in the broad areas of transportation and traffic engineering, urban development and planning. One of the main criteria for selection is the publication profile of the candidate and the innovative element in the candidate's research. Candidates seeking positions higher than the Assistant Professor's position are expected to have commensurate academic record and develop newer areas of research and add to the strengths of the Center/Department. Interested candidates may send their CV including a complete list of publications and names of six to eight referees by e-mail to: cistup@civil.iisc.ernet.in.
In addition, applications are also sought for the post of Post doctoral fellows, research fellows, project assistants / visitors in the center in the areas of infrastructure, geoinformatics, transportation and urban economics and planning.

Center for infrastructure, Sustainable Transportation and Urban Planning (CiSTUP)
The Indian Institute of Science is pleased to announce the establishment of the Center for infrastructure, Sustainable Transportation and Urban Planning (CiSTUP) with generous financial contribution from Government of Karnataka to develop a unique expertise having an interface in the areas of infrastructure, sustainable transportation and urban planning. CiSTUP will be engaged in several activities such as basic and applied research and development, academic programs, training programs, workshops and consultancy projects in the areas of infrastructure, sustainable transportation systems and urban planning. CiSTUP intends to generate trained technical and scientific professionals in these areas. In addition, it will facilitate research in urban flooding, urban heat island effects, solid waste management, seismic microzonation, disaster mitigation, remote sensing, resource optimization, mathematical modeling, pavement geotechnics, pavement design, ground improvement techniques and other aspects of urban infrastructure and planning. CiSTUP also plans to set up a specialized library and publish books and monographs dealing with these themes. The centre will promote outreach / training activities to the stake holders in the areas of infrastructure, sustainable transportation & traffic engineering and urban planning. Online programmes in these fields are also being planned. The center will setup laboratories in transportation & traffic engineering, Geoinformatics, and disaster mitigation. Further, there will be CiSTUP lecture series, annual conference for the practicing community and decision makers and annual special invited lectures on the topics of sustainable transportation, infrastructure and urban planning. The centre will also undertake joint research and training programmes in collaboration with several leading institutes of higher learning in related areas of interest.
