Indian Institute of Engineering Science & Technology (IIEST) Recruitment 2026: Junior Research Fellow (02 Vacancies)

This role is ideal for post-graduate candidates holding M.E./M.Tech. or M.Sc. degrees in Metallurgy, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, or related disciplines, who possess a valid GATE/NET score. Candidates with a strong inclination towards research, particularly in computational materials science, thermodynamics, and simulation-based design, and those aspiring to pursue a PhD in Metallurgy & Materials Engineering, will find this position highly suitable. Good communication skills are also an advantage.

Individuals lacking the specified Master's level qualifications or a valid GATE/NET score should not apply. Those without a keen interest in materials research, especially in the context of aerospace applications and computational approaches, or who do not envision pursuing a PhD in the relevant fields, may find this project less engaging. Candidates exceeding the age limit of 30 years (without applicable relaxations) are also ineligible.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIEST Shibpur, an institution of national importance, offers significant prestige and a strong foundation in academic research. The project itself is at the cutting edge of materials science for aerospace applications, providing excellent exposure to advanced experimentation and computational techniques under a collaborative multi-institutional network. This position serves as a valuable stepping stone for a career in research and development, particularly for those intending to pursue doctoral studies and contribute to high-impact scientific fields.
