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

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduates in Chemistry with a strong academic background (M.Sc. with 60% or 6.5 CGPA) and demonstrated research aptitude, evidenced by qualification in national eligibility tests like GATE or CSIR-UGC NET. Candidates passionate about organic synthesis, asymmetric synthesis, and spectroscopic analysis, eager to contribute to an R&D project at a premier institution like IIT Jammu, will thrive in this environment.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a contractual project-based position with a limited duration (initially one year, extendable up to two additional years). Those who do not meet the strict academic requirements (M.Sc. in Chemistry, minimum marks/CGPA, and national eligibility test qualification) will not be considered. Candidates without a genuine interest in advanced research in organic chemistry might find the role challenging.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research experience. This project-specific role provides excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in a highly specialized area, which can be a strong stepping stone for future doctoral studies or advanced research positions within academia or industry. While the role itself is contractual, the institutional affiliation with IIT Jammu enhances career prospects and networking opportunities in the scientific community.
