IIT (ISM) Dhanbad Scientific Administrative Assistant/ Field Investigator Recruitment 2026 | 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for B.Tech (Mechanical Engineering) graduates with a minimum of three years' experience in hydraulic systems design, modeling, and analysis, particularly within the mining machinery sector. Candidates with an M.Tech. in related fields and strong research publication records will be highly preferred. It suits individuals seeking a project-based, research-intensive position focused on practical application and field trials.

Those without a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or less than three years of relevant research/project/field experience should not apply. Individuals looking for a permanent government position or higher compensation may find this project-specific role with a fixed fellowship of Rs. 18,000 per month unsuitable. Applicants exceeding the age of 35 (as on April 1, 2026), without applicable age relaxation, will also not be considered.

Working at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, a premier institution, offers a significant boost to a candidate's research profile and professional network, especially within the mining and mechanical engineering domains. While a project-based contractual role, it provides valuable hands-on experience in a critical R&D project, enhancing future career prospects in both academia and industry.
