Indian Institute of Engineering Science & Technology (IIEST) Shibpur Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 (2 Vacancies)

This role is ideally suited for Master's degree holders (M.E./M.Tech or M.Sc) in a wide range of engineering and science disciplines, including Metallurgy, Materials Science, Mechanical, Computer Science, IT, Aerospace, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Candidates must possess a strong academic record (minimum 60% marks or 6.5 CGPA, with relaxations for reserved categories) and a valid GATE/NET score. Individuals with desirable exposure to computational materials science, thermodynamics, and simulation-based materials design, who are highly motivated to pursue a Ph.D. in Metallurgy & Materials Engineering under funded schemes, will find this a particularly good fit.

Candidates without the specified Master's degrees, those who do not meet the minimum academic percentage/CGPA criteria, or applicants lacking a valid GATE/NET score are not eligible. This project-based contractual position is unsuitable for individuals seeking permanent government employment.
