Junior Research Fellow & Project Associate

This role is ideal for recent graduates or postgraduates with a strong academic background in engineering (B.Tech/M.Tech) or science (M.Sc in Chemistry, Biotechnology, Agriculture) who have a keen interest in research, particularly in sustainable energy and biomass utilization. Candidates aspiring to pursue a Ph.D. might find this a valuable opportunity for initial research exposure and potential registration at MANIT Bhopal. A NET/GATE qualification is desirable but not mandatory.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this position is purely contractual for a specific research project (initially for 6 months, extendable up to 3 years). Those not meeting the stringent academic percentage/CGPA criteria or without a genuine interest in the specific project area (Green Hydrogen production from waste biomass) may find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow/Project Associate at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) Bhopal, an Institution of National Importance, offers significant prestige and exposure to a cutting-edge research project funded by SERB-DST, Government of India. While the position is contractual, it provides an excellent foundation for a career in research, academia, or further studies (e.g., Ph.D.) in energy science and engineering. The experience gained in a central government-funded project enhances long-term career prospects in the scientific domain.
