IIT Roorkee Recruitment 2026: 01 Research Associate Project Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding both an M.Tech (Structural Engineering, minimum 6.5 CGPA/65%) and a Ph.D. (Civil Engineering), who have also cleared the GATE exam. Candidates must possess significant practical experience in numerical modelling of reinforced concrete structures, proficiency in advanced simulation software (ABAQUS, ETABS, MIDAS STAAD Pro., SAP 2000), technical report writing, and large-scale laboratory testing. Preference will be given to SC/ST candidates with equal qualifications and experience. This one-year project position is suited for those looking to gain specialized research experience at a premier institution.

Candidates who do not meet the dual qualification requirement of M.Tech and Ph.D. in the specified fields, or who have not qualified the GATE exam, should not apply. Lack of demonstrated experience in numerical modeling, relevant software proficiency, technical report writing, or large-scale testing will also be a significant barrier. This is a temporary, one-year contractual position, so candidates seeking permanent employment may find it unsuitable.

Working as a Research Associate at IIT Roorkee, an Institute of National Importance, offers a prestigious opportunity to contribute to a project sponsored by Tata Steel Limited. This role provides invaluable experience in cutting-edge research and development, significantly enhancing a candidate's profile for future academic, research, or industrial R&D careers. While the position is contractual and for a limited duration of one year, the exposure to high-level research at a top-tier institution is highly beneficial for career advancement.
