IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Junior Research Fellow / Project Associate-1 Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for fresh graduates or postgraduates in Science or Engineering disciplines, particularly those with a background in Computer Science, Mining, Geology, or Geophysics, and a keen interest in AI/ML, data analysis, and web app development. Candidates with CSIR-UGC-NET, GATE, or other national-level exam qualifications are preferred. It offers an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to gain research experience within a prestigious institution on a cutting-edge project related to AI for mine health and safety.

Candidates without a relevant Graduate or Post-Graduate degree in Science or Engineering should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this unsuitable as it is a purely temporary, project-specific role. Individuals primarily interested in job security over research exposure or lacking basic knowledge in data analysis or web app development may also find this role less suitable.

Working at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, a renowned national institute, provides significant academic and research prestige. This temporary position offers invaluable experience in an AI-enabled project, enhancing future career prospects in both academia and industry, especially in the growing fields of AI, data science, and mining technology. While not a permanent role, it serves as a strong foundation for a research career or can lead to a full-time PhD.
