IIT Delhi Research Associate Recruitment 2026: Apply for 1 Post

This role is most suitable for candidates holding a Ph.D. in Textile and Fibre Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Polymer Science, Chemistry, or Materials Engineering. Ideal applicants will possess significant research experience in conductive fibres/textiles/composites and practical knowledge of various characterization techniques, including electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. It offers an excellent opportunity for post-doctoral research experience at a premier institution.

Individuals who do not hold a Ph.D. in the specified fields or lack direct research experience in the required areas of conductive materials and characterization techniques should not apply. Those seeking a permanent employment position will find this contractual role unsuitable, as it is project-based and initially for a short duration (6 months, extendable).

Working as a Research Associate at IIT Delhi, a top-tier Indian institute, offers significant academic and research prestige. While the role is contractual and project-specific, it provides an invaluable opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research ('Textile-Based Flexible Strain Sensor with Excellent Sensitivity Developed Using a New Nano Copper Ink Technology'). This experience can substantially enhance one's research profile and open doors for future academic or industrial research careers.
