IISER Pune Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026: 01 Vacancy for Chemistry Graduates

This role is ideally suited for ambitious candidates holding an M.Sc. in General Chemistry with excellent academic records (CGPA above 6.5). Crucially, applicants must possess a valid CSIR-NET/GATE/DBT-JRF or equivalent national-level test score. Individuals keen on contributing to cutting-edge research in 'Self-Powered Hydrogen Decarbonization Process with Integrated Desalination' within a temporary, project-based framework will find this opportunity rewarding.

Candidates lacking the specified M.Sc. qualification in General Chemistry or without a valid national-level test score (CSIR-NET/GATE/DBT-JRF or equivalent) should not apply. Those seeking permanent employment should note this is a temporary, contractual position. Applicants exceeding the 28-year age limit (as of May 7, 2026) without applicable relaxations for higher qualifications/experience are also ineligible.

Working at IISER Pune, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant prestige and a high-caliber research environment. This Junior Research Fellow position, though temporary, provides invaluable hands-on experience in a specialized, funded project, enhancing research credentials and networking opportunities. While direct long-term growth is project-dependent, the experience gained is highly transferable and beneficial for future academic or research careers.
