ABV-IIITM Gwalior Rolling Recruitment 2026: 10 Post-Doctoral Fellow Positions

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian nationals holding a PhD or equivalent degree from a recognized institution, particularly those with a strong academic record (first class in Bachelor's and Master's) and significant research output (at least 3 SCI/SSCI/SCIE publications, with one in a Q1 journal). Candidates must have completed their PhD within the last five years and should be under 35 years of age. Individuals aspiring for a temporary, full-time research and academic position at a premier Institute of National Importance will find this opportunity suitable.

Candidates without a PhD or equivalent degree, or those whose PhD was awarded more than five years ago, should not apply. Individuals lacking the required publication record (3 SCI/SSCI/SCIE, one Q1) or a first-class academic background in their preceding degrees will not meet the essential criteria. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles with a higher number of vacancies might find this opportunity less appealing, as it is a two-year contractual assignment with limited positions.

ABV-IIITM Gwalior is an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, offering a prestigious platform for post-doctoral research. This fellowship provides excellent opportunities for academic and research career advancement, mentorship, and co-guiding B.Tech/M.Tech students. While the tenure is temporary (up to two years), it offers significant professional growth, research exposure, and a strong addition to a researcher's curriculum vitae, potentially leading to more permanent academic or research roles in the future.
