IIT Delhi Recruitment 2026: 1 Research Associate Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified researchers holding a Ph.D. or an M.Tech/MS/M.E. degree in specialized engineering fields like Mechanical, Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical, or Applied Mechanics. The ideal candidate will possess a strong research background, evidenced by SCI-indexed publications for Ph.D. holders, or at least 3 years of relevant research, teaching, or design experience for Master's degree holders. Expertise in mechatronics systems design, robotics integration, control systems, and embedded systems is highly desirable.

Individuals without advanced degrees (Ph.D. or M.Tech/MS/M.E.) in the specified engineering disciplines should not apply. Those lacking the mandatory 3 years of experience for Master's degree holders or relevant publication record for Ph.D. candidates will not be shortlisted. As this is a contractual, project-based appointment, candidates seeking permanent government employment may find it unsuitable.

Working as a Research Associate at IIT Delhi, a premier Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant academic prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research. This role on the 'Wearable soft robotics for Upper Limb Muscle Power Augmentation with BMI interface' project presents an excellent opportunity to contribute to advanced robotics and gain valuable experience that can propel future careers in academia, industrial R&D, or specialized engineering. The project's funding by DRDO, Ministry of Defence, further highlights its strategic importance and impact potential.
