Associate Project Scientist

This role is ideal for highly skilled engineers or scientists with a B.Tech/B.E. (with 3 years experience) or M.Tech/M.E. in fields like Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Electronics, Communication, Electrical Engineering, or Physics. Candidates passionate about research in light-activated doping/dedoping in 2D materials for space-grade electronics and seeking project-based contractual work will find this opportunity suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment, those without the specified engineering or science degrees, or B.Tech/B.E. graduates lacking 3 years of relevant experience should not apply. The contractual nature (11 months) and the highly specialized research focus may not suit those looking for broad-based roles or long-term stability within the same project.

Working as an Associate Project Scientist at IIT Guwahati, a premier Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research. While the role is contractual, it provides valuable experience in a highly specialized and impactful project related to indigenous space technology, enhancing career prospects in academia or R&D sectors. However, being a project-based role, long-term security beyond the contract duration depends on project continuity or securing a new position.
