IIT Roorkee Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 1 Project Position

This role is ideal for recent B.Tech/M.Tech/M.Sc graduates in Chemical Engineering or related disciplines who possess a valid GATE score and have a keen interest in materials science and battery technology. Candidates with prior research or industrial experience will be highly preferred. It offers a valuable opportunity for those looking to gain practical experience in an academic research environment and potentially pursue a PhD.

Individuals without a valid GATE score or the specified engineering/science degrees should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this role unsuitable due to its contractual and project-based nature with a fixed duration of 1 year and 2 months.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Roorkee, a globally recognized institution, provides excellent exposure to high-level research and academic standards. While a project-based contract, it offers a strong foundation for a career in research and development, particularly in advanced materials, and could be a stepping stone towards a PhD admission at the institute, significantly boosting one's academic and professional profile.
