DRDO DRL Tezpur Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026: 05 Vacancies

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated postgraduate candidates holding an M.Pharm, M.S(Pharm), or M.Tech degree in specialized pharmaceutical sciences (Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Toxicology). It offers a valuable opportunity for fresh graduates or early-career researchers looking to gain experience in defense research, contribute to ongoing projects, and potentially pursue long-term research within a prestigious government organization.

Candidates who do not possess the specified Master's degrees should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment immediately should note that this is a contractual fellowship for an initial period of two years, with no guaranteed absorption into DRDO. Individuals above 28 years of age (without applicable relaxations) will also not be eligible.

Working with the Defence Research Laboratory (DRL), under the umbrella of DRDO, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge defense research. This fellowship provides a strong foundation for a research career, with the potential for skill development, publication opportunities, and an upgrade to Senior Research Fellow (SRF) status based on performance. While not a permanent position, it serves as an excellent stepping stone for future research or academic roles in specialized scientific fields.
