Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated and academically strong engineering or science postgraduates and graduates looking to pursue research in Green Hydrogen Production. Candidates with B.Tech./B.E. or M.Tech./M.E. in Metallurgical & Materials, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering, or M.Sc. in relevant science disciplines (Materials Science, Nanoscience, Physics, Chemistry), meeting the specified academic percentages, are suitable. Preference will be given to those with GATE/UGC/CSIR/INSPIRE/NET qualification and prior experience in coating fabrication or Hydrogen generation systems, who are keen on contributing to a time-bound research project and potentially pursuing a Ph.D. at NIT Warangal.

Individuals not meeting the stringent educational qualification requirements (specific degrees and aggregate percentages) should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position or a role with immediate Ph.D. registration without further application should note this is a temporary, project-based fellowship. Candidates without a strong interest in research related to PEM Water Electrolyzers or those unable to commit to a maximum three-year project tenure would find this unsuitable.

NIT Warangal is an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, Govt. of India, offering a robust academic and research environment. This JRF position provides an excellent opportunity to gain valuable research experience in a cutting-edge field (Green Hydrogen Production) under an ANRF-sponsored project. While temporary, it offers a pathway to a Ph.D. within a prestigious institution, enhancing long-term career prospects in academia or R&D. The project's nature offers significant learning and contribution potential.
