IIT Delhi Sr. Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified individuals holding a PhD in Materials, Metallurgical, or Biomaterials Engineering. The ideal candidate will possess specialized expertise in areas such as additive manufacturing, CAD/FEM modelling, microscopy, and mechanical properties. Preference is given to those with knowledge of cytotoxicity, relative splint effect, and clinical trial studies on dental materials, indicating a fit for researchers with a strong theoretical and practical background in specific material science applications, particularly in a medical context.

Candidates who do not possess a PhD in the specified engineering disciplines, or whose thesis was submitted more than three months prior to the advertisement date, should not apply. Those lacking direct expertise in the core technical areas (additive manufacturing, CAD/FEM, microscopy, mechanical properties) or the preferred research areas (cytotoxicity, clinical trials related to dental materials) will find this role unsuitable. Individuals seeking permanent government employment should also be aware that this is a contractual, project-based position.

Working as a Sr. Research Fellow at IIT Delhi, a globally recognized institution for technical education and research, offers significant academic and professional prestige. Although the position is contractual and project-based, it provides invaluable experience in cutting-edge research within a highly reputed environment. This role can serve as a strong foundation for future careers in academia, R&D, or specialized industry sectors, enhancing one's profile within the scientific community.
