Junior Research Fellow JRF

This role is ideal for recent B.Tech graduates in Metallurgy and Materials Engineering or Science with a strong academic record, evidenced by a valid GATE qualification. Candidates passionate about cutting-edge research in Ti-steel laminate composites, microstructural characterization, and mechanical testing, and who are keen on potentially pursuing a Ph.D. at IIT Roorkee, will find this opportunity highly rewarding. Preference will be given to SC/ST candidates with equal qualifications and experience.

Individuals without a B.Tech. degree in the specified disciplines or a valid GATE score should not apply, as these are essential qualifications. Those seeking long-term permanent government employment or roles outside of specialized materials science research may find this project-based, time-bound (24 months) position unsuitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Roorkee, a top-tier Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research experience. The project, sponsored by NRB-DRDO, provides exposure to defense-related research and excellent networking opportunities. This position serves as a strong stepping stone for a career in academia or advanced R&D, with a clear pathway to Ph.D. enrollment for high-performing candidates based on their performance.
