IIT Jammu Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated and academically strong candidates holding an M.Sc. in Chemical Sciences with a specialization in Electrochemistry. Essential qualifications include a strong academic record (min. 60% marks from Class XII onwards) and qualification in national-level eligibility tests like GATE or CSIR-UGC NET. Candidates passionate about research in two-dimensional materials for electrochemical CO2 reduction and possessing hands-on experience in relevant techniques will find this a valuable opportunity.

Individuals who do not meet the minimum academic criteria (M.Sc. with 60% marks and NET/GATE qualification) or those seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a project-based contractual role with a fixed tenure. Candidates unwilling to work on a specific research project focused on CO2 reduction will find the role unsuitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research experience. This project, sanctioned by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), provides an excellent platform for individuals aspiring to build a career in electrochemistry and materials science research, enhancing their profile for future doctoral studies or advanced research positions. While the position is contractual, the exposure to cutting-edge research and the IIT environment is highly beneficial for long-term academic and scientific growth.
