Indian Institute of Technology Jammu JRF Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy for Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian nationals holding an M.Sc. or equivalent degree in Chemistry with a strong academic record (60% or 6.5 CGPA minimum) and a proven qualification in national-level eligibility tests like GATE or CSIR-UGC NET. Candidates with a keen interest and sound knowledge in Organic Chemistry, particularly asymmetric synthesis and spectroscopic analysis methods, will find this position highly suitable. It offers an excellent opportunity for early-career researchers to gain hands-on experience in a specialized R&D project within a prestigious IIT.

Candidates who do not possess an M.Sc. or equivalent degree in Chemistry, do not meet the minimum academic score, or have not qualified in any of the specified national eligibility tests (GATE, CSIR-UGC NET, or equivalent) should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment might find the initial 12-month contractual nature of this project-based role unsuitable. Individuals lacking knowledge in organic chemistry or spectroscopic analysis methods may also struggle.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) like IIT Jammu offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research experience. This project-based role in 'Design, Synthesis, and Novel Applications of Carbene and Carbyne Precursors' provides a strong foundation for future careers in academia or advanced research and development. While the position is initially for 12 months, the possibility of extension based on performance allows for sustained engagement and professional growth in a specialized scientific domain.
