IIT Indore Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 (1 Post)

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates with a strong academic background (M.Tech/B.Tech/M.Sc in relevant engineering/science disciplines) and a valid GATE/UGC/CSIR-JRF score. The position is particularly suitable for individuals with a keen interest in metallurgical research, especially in thermomigration and high-entropy alloys. Aspiring PhD candidates who wish to pursue doctoral studies at IIT Indore will find this a beneficial pathway, given the strong preference for such individuals.

Individuals who do not possess the specified essential qualifications, particularly a valid GATE/UGC/CSIR-JRF score, should not apply.

This Junior Research Fellow position, funded by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) under the Prime Minister Early Career Research Grant, provides significant exposure to advanced research methodologies and a strong foundation for a career in academia or R&D. It offers substantial academic and professional growth within a highly reputed institution, potentially leading to a PhD, thus laying solid groundwork for future research or academic roles.
