I have carefully reviewed the information you provided and compared it with the search results. There is a significant discrepancy: the recruitment notification you’ve described does not appear in the current search results.
It seems you have a notification for a specific position (Advt No P.Rect./R&D/2026/041) with a deadline of March 3, 2026. However, the available search results show several other IIT Kanpur postdoctoral vacancies with different details and earlier deadlines in 2026.

How to Find the Correct Notification
Since the details don’t match, the official notification for the position you’re interested in is likely not indexed in the current search results. Here are the best ways to find it:
- Check the Official IIT Kanwerp Website: The most reliable source is the official “Jobs” or “Recruitment” section of the IIT Kanpur website. Look for a specific “Project Vacancies” page, as suggested by the Department of Chemical Engineering -3.
- Use the Advertisement Number: Your notification has a unique advertisement number:
P.Rect./R&D/2026/041. You can use this number directly on the IIT Kanpur website’s search function or in a search engine to locate the exact PDF. - Visit the Specific Department’s Site: The position is highly specialized (Biomedical/EEG/AI). Check the websites of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science at IIT Kanpur, as they would likely host the advertisement for such a role.
I hope this helps clarify the situation. Would you like me to help you search for the contact information of the relevant department at IIT Kanpur so you can inquire directly?
