He served at the Institute as Professor of Mechanical Engineering from 1975 until his retirement in 2006. From 1977 to 1978, Professor Ghosh visited the RWTH Aachen as Senior Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and subsequently visited the RWTH Aachen in the same capacity several times between then and 2012. He served as Director of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) from 1997 to 2002. His primary areas of research are Manufacturing Science, Robotics, Kinematics, and Mechanism Theory and Dynamics of Mechanical Systems. Professor Ghosh has written several textbooks that have been highly successful both in India and abroad and has received many academic awards, including a number of Calcutta University Gold Medals, the D.Sc. (h.c.), Distinguished Teacher award from IIT Kanpur, and the Award for Excellence in Research by the National Academy of Engineering. He is Fellow of all four national science and engineering academies in India.
