IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Research Assistant (RA) Recruitment 2026: 2 Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates holding a B.Tech/BE or M.Tech in Mechanical, Automobile, Industrial & Production, or Manufacturing Engineering. Those with an M.Tech degree must possess at least two years of relevant experience in the Design/Manufacturing industry. Essential skills include proficiency in ANSYS/LS-Dyna software. The position is well-suited for individuals seeking specialized research experience in anti-collision systems for mining under a Ministry-sponsored project, providing a valuable opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge R&D within a prestigious institution.

Candidates seeking permanent employment or roles with HRA benefits will find this contractual position unsuitable. Individuals without the specified engineering degrees, essential software knowledge, or the mandatory two years of industry experience (for M.Tech holders) should not apply. Additionally, applicants unwilling or unable to arrange their own accommodation in Dhanbad during the interview and project tenure should reconsider, as no TA/DA is provided for interviews.

Working as a Research Assistant at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, a premier institute of national importance, on a Ministry of Mines R&D project offers significant academic and research prestige. This role provides an excellent opportunity to gain specialized experience in a critical industrial domain, enhancing long-term career prospects in both advanced research and relevant industrial sectors. While the position is contractual, the exposure and network gained can be highly beneficial for future academic or professional growth.
