IIT Delhi Recruitment 2026: 2 Project & Senior Research Fellow Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly qualified and experienced researchers holding a PhD in Metallurgical Engineering or a Postgraduate degree with NET/GATE qualification. Candidates should possess a strong background in areas such as casting, powder production, additive manufacturing, and heat treatment, with a minimum of two years of research experience for the Senior Research Fellow position. Those seeking to contribute to cutting-edge research in a leading academic institution on a contractual basis would find this an excellent opportunity.

Individuals lacking the specified high-level academic qualifications (PhD or NET/GATE-qualified Postgraduate degree) or the mandatory research experience will not be suitable. This is a contractual research position, so candidates looking for permanent government employment or entry-level roles without prior research experience should consider other opportunities. Generic qualifications without specific relevance to metallurgical engineering or materials science will also be a drawback.

Working at IIT Delhi, a globally recognized institution, offers significant academic prestige and exposure to advanced research methodologies and projects. While these roles are contractual, they provide an invaluable platform for professional growth, networking within the scientific community, and contributing to high-impact research. Successful completion of such projects can greatly enhance a researcher's profile and open doors to further academic or industry opportunities in specialized fields.
