Junior Research Fellow & Senior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated, dynamic, and research-oriented candidates with a strong academic background in engineering or science disciplines. Those holding an M.E./M.Tech/M.Sc or a B.Tech./B.E. with a valid GATE score, particularly with knowledge in MEMS/NEMS, fluid mechanics, thermal, or electronics, and experience with CAD/CAE tools, would be excellent fits. The position offers an opportunity to pursue a Ph.D. at MANIT Bhopal, making it suitable for individuals aspiring for doctoral research.

Candidates exceeding 33 years of age as of June 30, 2026 (unless eligible for GOI age relaxation) should not apply. Individuals seeking a permanent government position or those without a strong research aptitude will find this contract-based, project-specific role unsuitable. Lack of the specified educational qualifications or a valid GATE score (for B.Tech/B.E. candidates) is a dealbreaker.

Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) Bhopal is a prestigious National Institute of Technology, offering significant academic and research opportunities. This project-based JRF/SRF role, funded by DST-ANRF, provides valuable research experience and a pathway to a Ph.D., enhancing long-term career prospects in academia or R&D. While the position is temporary, it offers institutional affiliation with a reputable NIT.
