IIT Indore Rolling Recruitment 2026: Junior & Senior Research Fellow Positions in Next-Gen Wireless Communication

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian nationals with a strong academic background in Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication, Computer Science, or related fields. Graduates and Postgraduates (B.E./B.Tech/B.Sc, M.Tech/M.E./M.S., or Ph.D.) with a keen interest in Next-Generation Wireless Communication research, particularly those with a valid GATE score or other national eligibility test qualifications, will find this opportunity suitable. It is particularly attractive for individuals aspiring to pursue a Ph.D. as part of their research tenure.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a project-based, contractual position with a defined duration (extendable till 2030). Candidates without the specified engineering or science degrees, or those uninterested in a research-intensive environment focused on wireless communication, will not be a good fit. Lack of an aptitude for academic research and a preference for purely industrial roles may also be a dealbreaker.

Working at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) like IIT Indore offers significant academic prestige and an excellent platform for cutting-edge research. This position provides invaluable experience in an ANRF-funded project on Next-Generation Wireless Communication, enhancing a candidate's research profile. The encouragement to pursue a Ph.D. during the fellowship offers a clear path for academic and career advancement within a highly reputable institution, although the project-based nature implies a fixed-term commitment.
