Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for fresh M.Sc. Chemistry graduates with a strong academic record, particularly those who have qualified GATE/NET. Candidates with a keen interest and demonstrated knowledge in nanomaterials synthesis and characterization techniques (UV-vis, FTIR, Raman, Fluorescence, Circular dichroism spectroscopy, Electron microscopy) are highly suited. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals aspiring to pursue a Ph.D. in a research-intensive environment.

Candidates lacking a First-class M.Sc. in Chemistry or those exceeding the age limit of 28 years should not apply. Individuals without a strong theoretical and practical understanding of the specified nanomaterials characterization techniques may find themselves at a disadvantage. This is a project-based, contractual position for 3 years, so those seeking permanent government employment might find it unsuitable.
