IIT Ropar Recruitment 2026: Apply for 1 Project Research Scientist I (Non Medical) Post

This role is ideal for highly motivated individuals with a strong academic background (B.E./B.Tech, M.Tech/M.E., or M.Sc. in relevant IT/CS/Data Science domains) who possess a valid GATE/UGC-NET/CSIR/DST-INSPIRE qualification (unless from a CFTI with high CGPA). Candidates with deep interest and prior experience in Deep Learning, Biomedical Data Analysis, Medical Image Analysis, strong programming skills (Python, PyTorch), and academic research publications will find this position particularly suitable. It offers an excellent opportunity to pursue a self-sponsored PhD at IIT Ropar while working on a critical ICMR project.

Candidates without the specified first-class academic qualifications or lacking the mandatory GATE/UGC-NET/CSIR/DST-INSPIRE qualification (where applicable) should not apply. Individuals seeking a permanent government position or guaranteed financial support for PhD tuition/registration will find this role unsuitable, as it is purely temporary, project-based, and PhD costs are self-funded. Those exceeding the age limit of 35 years will also not be considered.

Working on an ICMR project at a premier institution like IIT Ropar offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's research profile. While the initial appointment is temporary, the experience gained in cutting-edge domains like Deep Learning and Biomedical Data Analysis, coupled with the opportunity to pursue a PhD from IIT Ropar, provides strong long-term growth potential in academia and research.
