UET Taxila Research Assistant Jobs 2026 – 3 AI Project Posts at Rs 100,000/Month

The University of Engineering & Technology (UET) Taxila has advertised three Research Assistant posts under two HEC-funded research projects — one fighting deepfake audio deception, the other using AI-driven aerial monitoring for the construction industry. Both pay Rs. 100,000 per month, both are open to engineering and computer science graduates, and both close on the same day — a focused, well-paid entry into academic research for an early-career engineer with machine learning skills.

Last date to apply: 16 November 2026 (Monday), up to 3:00 PM. Applications must be submitted in both hard copy and soft form — one without the other is incomplete.

UET Taxila Research Jobs 2026 – Quick Facts

Project 1 – DEEPGUARD: Deepfake Audio Detection (2 Posts)

HEC-funded NRPU project No. 87309, titled “DEEPGUARD — Deepfake Audio Exploitation Prevention & Guarding Against Real-Time Deception”, offers two Research Assistant posts for nine months, age limit up to 40 years.

Applicants need a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Computer or Software Engineering, or Computer Science, from a recognized institution, with expertise in machine learning, deep learning and transformer-based architectures, plus knowledge of audio and video signal processing. Strong Python skills are required, with hands-on experience in PyTorch, TensorFlow and other modern ML frameworks. Prior student-researcher experience is a plus, not mandatory. For this project, applicants also submit the form at the Swarm Robotics Lab link given in the advertisement (web.uettaxila.edu.pk/SwarmRoboticsLab/Index).

Project 2 – AI-Driven Aerial Monitoring for Construction (1 Post)

HEC-funded NRPU project No. 20-143413-36, titled “Revolutionizing Contraction Industry using AI-Driven Aerial Monitoring System” (“Contraction” as printed in the advertisement summary), offers one Research Assistant post for ten months, extendable, age limit up to 45 years.

Applicants need a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer or Software Engineering, Computer Science or a similar discipline — 16 years of education from an HEC-recognized university. A strong academic profile with conference or journal publications (published or submitted) is required; prior student-researcher experience is a plus. Preference: hands-on expertise in ML/DL algorithm development, computer vision and 3D vision, Python, C++ and MATLAB, COLMAP, NeRF, OpenCV, Open3D, and deep learning for 3D vision (PointNet, PointNet++, KPConv, SparseConv, transformers). Additional preference is given for CUDA basics and GPU training, image segmentation or object detection (YOLO, Mask R-CNN), experience with multimodal data (RGB plus thermal), and good technical writing and communication skills. For this project, the duly filled application in soft form must also be emailed to the address given in the advertisement, in addition to the hard-copy application.

Important Dates

How to Apply – Two Steps, Both Mandatory

• Step 1 — Hard copy: download the prescribed form from www.uettaxila.edu.pk, fill it, and send it with your CV and attested testimonials so it reaches the office of the undersigned by 16 November 2026, 3:00 PM.
• Step 2 — Soft form: DEEPGUARD applicants submit the Swarm Robotics Lab form; aerial-monitoring applicants email the soft-form application to the address in the advertisement.
• Pay the non-refundable Rs. 2,000 application fee by bank draft, postal order or IBL challan of the UET Taxila branch, in favour of the Treasurer, UET Taxila.
• Attach attested copies of your degree and certificates, testimonials, CNIC, experience certificates and photographs.
• Late or incomplete applications will not be entertained, and no TA/DA will be paid for the test or interview.

Documents Checklist

• Prescribed application form, duly filled
• CV
• Attested copies of degree, certificates and testimonials
• CNIC
• Experience certificates, where applicable
• Publications or submitted papers, for the aerial monitoring project
• Recent photographs
• Fee payment instrument (bank draft, postal order or IBL challan)

Why These Posts Are Worth Applying For

Rs. 100,000 a month is well above the usual project stipend, and both projects sit in fast-moving fields: deepfake detection, and AI-driven aerial monitoring, which combines drones, computer vision and construction. A nine- or ten-month stint gives a young engineer publications, a supervisor’s reference and framework experience AI employers ask for by name. Treat the posts as a research bridge into a PhD, an industry AI role, or a longer research position.

Fraud warning: Never pay anyone for a job application, test, interview or offer letter. The only fee here is the official Rs. 2,000 application fee, paid by bank draft, postal order or IBL challan in favour of the Treasurer, UET Taxila — never in cash to an individual. Do not share your CNIC, bank details or passwords with strangers.
