IIT BHU Varanasi Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated postgraduate candidates (M.Tech./M.Sc.) in Materials Science, Ceramics, Metallurgy, Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry, who possess a strong academic record (minimum 60% marks). Candidates with NET/GATE qualifications and prior experience in ceramic materials processing and characterization (XRD, SEM) will find themselves particularly well-aligned with the project's requirements.

Candidates seeking permanent employment or long-term career stability should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, 6-month contractual position directly tied to a specific project. Those without the specified postgraduate qualifications or an age exceeding 28 years (without applicable GoI relaxations) will not be suitable. Applicants expecting TA/DA for interviews will also be disappointed.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT BHU offers a valuable opportunity to gain research experience within a prestigious Central Government institution. While the position is temporary, it provides exposure to cutting-edge research under a SERB-sponsored project, enhancing one's academic profile and opening doors for future research or doctoral studies.
