Junior Research Fellow & Senior Research Fellow

Ideal candidates are highly motivated engineering graduates (BE/B.Tech) or postgraduates (ME/M.Tech/MS) in Metallurgical, Materials Science, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering, with a strong academic record (minimum CGPA of 8.0). Those with a GATE qualification and/or research experience in advanced materials, metallurgy, or manufacturing processes will find this role particularly suitable. The position offers an excellent opportunity to work on a DRDO-sponsored project and potentially pursue a PhD at IIT Hyderabad.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary position, co-terminus with the 3-year project duration. Candidates exceeding the upper age limit of 28 years (without applicable government relaxations) or those without the specified engineering qualifications and CGPA will not be considered. This is a single vacancy, so candidates looking for large-scale recruitment opportunities should look elsewhere.

Working as a Junior/Senior Research Fellow at IIT Hyderabad, a premier Indian Institute of Technology, on a Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) sponsored project, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research. This role provides invaluable experience in advanced materials science and engineering, collaborating with a top-tier academic institution and a national defence organization. It's an excellent stepping stone for a career in research, academia, or further doctoral studies, enhancing one's professional and academic profile considerably.
