IIEST Shibpur JRF Recruitment 2026: Two Junior Research Fellow Vacancies

This role is most suitable for candidates holding a B.E/B.Tech/M.Tech in relevant engineering disciplines such as Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, or Material Science, coupled with a strong academic record (minimum 60-80% marks) and a valid GATE/NET score. Ideal applicants will possess a keen interest in advanced materials research, particularly in additive manufacturing and laser processing, and demonstrate an agile, multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving. Prior experience in these specific research areas is an added advantage, though not mandatory.

Candidates who do not meet the essential academic qualifications, lack a valid GATE/NET score, or are not committed to a rigorous research environment should not apply. Individuals primarily seeking permanent government employment may find the five-year contractual nature of this project-based role unsuitable.

As an Institute of National Importance, IIEST Shibpur offers a highly prestigious platform for cutting-edge research. This Junior Research Fellow position is integral to a significant project under the 'PAIR Network,' funded by the ANRF, Government of India. It provides exceptional exposure to advanced R&D in aerospace materials and manufacturing, offering a strong foundation for future academic pursuits, specialized industry roles, or further research opportunities.
