IIEST Shibpur Senior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 (1 Post)

This role is ideal for highly qualified postgraduate candidates (M.E./M.Tech/M.Sc) in specialized engineering or science disciplines, particularly those with a strong background in sensor devices, electrochemistry, or microelectronics. A valid GATE/NET score is mandatory. Candidates should be keen on project-based research work within a defined duration and possess the required academic percentage. The position offers an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in graphene FET arrays for cancer diagnosis.

Candidates without an M.E./M.Tech or M.Sc in the specified fields, or those lacking a valid GATE/NET score, should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles outside of a contractual, project-specific framework will find this unsuitable. The strict age limit of 32 years (with category-specific relaxations) is also a key criterion. This is a single vacancy, making competition extremely high.

Working as a Senior Research Fellow at IIEST Shibpur, an Institution of National Importance, offers significant academic prestige and exposure to high-impact research. The project, funded by ANRF, Govt. of India, is for a duration of five years, providing substantial stability within a contractual research framework. This role offers excellent experience for those aspiring to a career in advanced research, academic institutions, or specialized R&D sectors, particularly in materials science and biomedical engineering.
