This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates holding an M.Sc. in Chemistry with at least 60% marks and a valid GATE/CSIR-JRF/UGC-JRF qualification. Candidates with practical experience in synthesis and spectroscopy techniques, particularly in the domain of Metal N-Heterocyclic Chalcogenone Clusters and Nanomaterials, will be highly preferred. It suits individuals aspiring to gain hands-on research experience in a premier academic institution.

Candidates without a valid M.Sc. in Chemistry, lacking the specified minimum marks, or without a GATE/CSIR-JRF/UGC-JRF qualification should not apply. Those exceeding 24 years of age as of March 31, 2026, are also ineligible.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad offers excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in a highly reputed institution. While it is a contractual position, it provides valuable experience that can significantly enhance prospects for higher studies (Ph.D.) or future research roles in academia or industry, particularly within the chemistry and materials science domains.
