IIT (ISM) Dhanbad ANRF Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated and academically strong candidates holding a B.Tech. in Civil/Agricultural Engineering & Technology and an M.Tech. in relevant hydrological, environmental, or civil engineering specializations. Crucially, applicants must be GATE/NET qualified. The position is well-suited for individuals passionate about advanced research in machine learning-driven flood forecasting, with a keen interest in pursuing a Ph.D. in a prestigious academic environment.

Candidates lacking the specified M.Tech. and B.Tech. degrees or without GATE/NET qualification should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this temporary, project-based fellowship unsuitable. While desirable, a lack of proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or R, or exposure to hydrological modeling and climate datasets, could also be a disadvantage in a competitive selection process.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research experience. This project provides exposure to cutting-edge machine learning and hydrological modeling techniques. Moreover, the opportunity for Ph.D. enrollment, subject to fulfilling admission criteria, presents a clear pathway for long-term academic and research career growth within a top-tier institution.
