IIT Guwahati Project Scientist Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified researchers holding a PhD or Master's degree in Science/Humanities, coupled with a significant 6 years of experience. Candidates with a background in language technology, speech therapy, or related fields, eager to contribute to a specialized, short-term research project at a premier academic institution, will find this opportunity particularly suitable. It offers a chance to work on a specific project focused on North-Eastern languages.

Individuals seeking permanent employment or a long-term career path will find the 3-month contractual duration a significant drawback. Those without the mandatory 6 years of experience or the specified postgraduate qualifications (PhD/Master's) are not eligible. Additionally, candidates unable to attend the offline interview at IIT Guwahati or secure a No-objection Certificate if currently employed should not apply.

Working as a Project Scientist at IIT Guwahati, an Institution of National Importance, offers substantial academic prestige and exposure to high-caliber research environments. While the position is short-term and project-specific, it provides an excellent opportunity to gain experience in cutting-edge research, enhance a researcher's portfolio, and potentially open doors for future academic or research collaborations. The focused nature of the project also allows for deep engagement in a niche area of language technology and speech therapy.
