Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati: JRF (GATE) Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates in basic science or professional courses, particularly those with a strong background in Physics, who have qualified through national-level examinations like CSIR-UGC NET or GATE. It suits individuals aspiring for a career in cutting-edge research, specifically in quantum computing, within a prestigious academic environment.

Candidates without a postgraduate degree, those who haven't cleared national eligibility tests (NET/GATE) or equivalent, or individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply. The role is contractual for a limited duration (9 months, extendable) and does not offer campus accommodation or TA/DA for the interview process. Those not prepared for a project-based research position in Guwahati may find it unsuitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Guwahati, a globally recognized institution for its academic and research excellence, offers significant prestige. This specific project in 'Quantum computing' at the Department of Physics provides an excellent opportunity for foundational research experience, enhancing one's profile for future academic or R&D roles. While the initial appointment is contractual, the experience gained is highly valuable for long-term career progression in research.
