IIT Goa Senior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly motivated researchers holding an M. Tech in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering (or allied fields) with a valid GATE score and at least two years of relevant research experience. Candidates should be prepared for project-based, temporary employment within a prestigious academic environment and be eager to contribute to cutting-edge research in atmospheric science.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those without a GATE qualification and the required M. Tech degree, along with two years of research experience, should not apply. The position is temporary and tied to a specific project, so those looking for long-term absorption into IIT Goa or a funding agency should be aware of the stated terms.

Working as a Senior Research Fellow at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) carries significant academic prestige and offers an excellent opportunity to collaborate on a project sponsored by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). This role provides valuable research exposure and networking opportunities, which can be highly beneficial for a career in research or academia, despite its initial temporary nature. The experience gained at an IIT and with an ISRO-sponsored project is highly valued in both public and private research sectors.
