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

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates with a strong academic background in Electrical or Electrical and Electronics Engineering, specifically with a specialization in power electronics. Applicants should possess a 4-year Bachelor's or Master's degree (M.Tech/M.E./M.S. by research) and meet national-level test qualifications (e.g., GATE, UGC-NET), or hold an exceptional academic record (≥ 8.0 CGPA from specific institutions). Preference will be given to those with practical experience in hardware development of GaN-based power converters. The position is particularly suitable for individuals aspiring to pursue a Ph.D., as it offers a direct pathway to register for a Ph.D. program at IIT Roorkee.

Individuals lacking the specified engineering background, particularly in power electronics, or who do not meet the academic/national-level test criteria should not apply. Those seeking permanent employment should note this is a contractual position for a fixed duration of two years. Candidates uninterested in research or a potential Ph.D. track may also find this role less suitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Roorkee, an institution of national importance, offers significant academic and research prestige. The project itself, focused on 'The Smart Energy Metering and Billing System: Enhancing EV Charging Infrastructure for Efficiency and Accessibility,' is a cutting-edge domain. This role provides invaluable research experience and a clear opportunity for long-term academic growth through a Ph.D. enrollment at a top-tier engineering institute, significantly enhancing career prospects in research, academia, or advanced R&D sectors.
