IIT Roorkee Recruitment 2026: Junior Research Fellow (1 Vacancy) for Aerospace Applications Project

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian nationals holding a 4-year Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical or Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Candidates who have qualified a national-level test like GATE/NET (or are exempt based on CGPA from CFTIs) and possess experience in Power Electronics Converter Design, coupled with an interest in aerospace applications, will find this opportunity particularly fitting. It's an excellent pathway for those aspiring to pursue a Ph.D., as the selected JRF will have the opportunity to register for a Ph.D. program at IIT Roorkee.

Individuals lacking the specified engineering degrees or without qualification in a national-level test (unless meeting the exemption criteria) should not apply. This is a single-vacancy, project-based contractual position with a duration of three years, making it unsuitable for those seeking permanent employment or a high volume recruitment drive. Applicants primarily interested in non-research-oriented roles or those without a strong academic background in the relevant disciplines will find this role challenging.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Roorkee, a premier educational institution, on a project sponsored by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) offers significant prestige and a unique opportunity. This role provides invaluable research experience in a specialized field crucial for aerospace applications. The clear provision to register for a Ph.D. program at IIT Roorkee further enhances its long-term academic and career growth prospects, establishing a strong foundation for a research-oriented career.
