IIT Delhi Project Scientist & Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 2 Project Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly motivated graduates and postgraduates with strong academic records (1st class or equivalent) in relevant disciplines such as Engineering, Science, or Computer Applications. Candidates for the Jr. Research Fellow position should preferably possess NET/GATE qualifications or have graduated from a Centrally Funded Technical Institute (CFTI) with a CGPA exceeding 8.0. Individuals with a keen interest in project-based research, specifically in Radar-LiDAR Inertial Odometry, who are looking for a contractual, fixed-term engagement in a leading academic environment, will find these positions most suitable.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment or those who do not meet the specified educational qualifications (B.Tech/M.Sc/MCA/Post Graduate degree in relevant fields) should not apply. Those without NET/GATE (unless they meet the CFTI CGPA exemption for JRF) or individuals uncomfortable with the contractual nature and project-specific duration of the roles will find these positions unsuitable.

Working at IIT Delhi, a premier institution for technical education and research, offers significant prestige and unparalleled exposure to cutting-edge research methodologies and advanced technologies. While these are contractual project-based positions, they provide an excellent opportunity to enhance one's research profile, collaborate with distinguished faculty, and gain valuable experience in a niche technological area. This experience can serve as a strong foundation for future academic or research-oriented careers, despite the absence of long-term stability within these specific roles.
