Biodesign Fellow

This role is ideal for highly innovative graduates, postgraduates, or PhD holders in Medicine, Engineering, Design, or Allied healthcare who possess a strong track record in product innovation, entrepreneurship, or startup experience. Candidates with a passion for developing social impact products and demonstrating patenting or commercialization success will find this opportunity particularly rewarding. Strong communication and team management skills, coupled with experience in biomedical device design and development, are highly preferred.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those without a demonstrable track record in innovation, entrepreneurship, or a startup environment should not apply. The role is project-based and contractual for a short duration (6 months), which might not suit candidates looking for long-term stability or direct academic positions. Lack of relevant experience in biomedical devices or a strong portfolio of innovative work would be a significant drawback.

Working as a Biodesign Fellow at IIT Guwahati offers significant prestige, being associated with one of India's premier technological institutes. While the position is contractual and project-specific, it provides an excellent platform for research, innovation, and networking within the biomedical and engineering sectors. It can be a strong stepping stone for careers in R&D, academia, or launching new ventures, offering valuable experience within a leading research environment.
