IIT Patna Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 (2 Vacancies)

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates with a strong academic background in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Physics, Computer Science, or Information Technology. Candidates pursuing a Ph.D. in related fields, especially those with valid GATE/NET scores or high academic performance from CFTIs/IITs, are particularly well-suited. Preference will be given to individuals with prior knowledge in digital signal processing, Machine/Deep learning, and Artificial Intelligence, seeking research experience in a prestigious academic environment.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a temporary, project-bound position. Candidates who do not meet the specified educational qualifications (B.Tech/M.Sc/M.Tech/MCA with GATE/NET or equivalent academic scores) or who are not prepared for a time-bound research project should also refrain from applying. Those not interested in contributing to research in underwater environment detection and classification may find the role less engaging.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Patna offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research experience within a premier institution. This position provides an excellent pathway for those aspiring to pursue a Ph.D., with the added benefit of being allowed to apply for the Ph.D. program in the EE & CSE department. While the role is temporary, the experience gained will significantly enhance a candidate's profile for future research or academic careers, particularly in cutting-edge areas like AI and machine learning.
