IIT Guwahati 2026 Recruitment: 2 Project Research Scientist Positions (Walk-in Interview)

This role is ideal for experienced B.Tech or M.Tech graduates with specialized research experience in fields like Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, Bio-electronics, Medical Devices, and Microfluidics. Candidates must possess a strong academic record (preferably first class) and be prepared for a project-based, contractual engagement of 11 months. Those looking to contribute to cutting-edge research in a prestigious academic environment will find this opportunity suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with long-term security should not apply, as this is an 11-month contractual position. Those without the specified years of experience (5-7 years depending on qualification) in the relevant fields, or without a strong academic background, will not meet the eligibility criteria. Candidates who are unable to attend the walk-in interview on January 28, 2026, or who require campus accommodation or TA/DA for the interview, should also reconsider.

Working as a Project Research Scientist at IIT Guwahati offers significant prestige and exposure within a leading national institution. Although the position is contractual, it provides an excellent opportunity to engage in advanced research under the 'ICMR-DHR Centers of Excellence (CoE)' project, enhancing one's research portfolio and professional network. While direct long-term growth within this specific role is limited by its contractual nature, the experience gained is highly valuable for future academic, research, or industry positions, particularly in specialized technology sectors.
