Indian Institute of Technology Jammu JRF/SRF in VLSI Design Recruitment 2026 | 2 Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly motivated engineering and science post-graduates (M.E./M.Tech./M.Sc.) or graduates (B.E./B.Tech./M.Sc.) in ECE/EE/VLSI Design or allied fields. A valid GATE/NET score is mandatory for candidates with a B.E./B.Tech./M.Sc. background. Those with a strong interest and, for SRF, a minimum of two years of research experience in VLSI design, particularly in implantable pacemaker chip development, will find this position suitable. Candidates with expertise in Verilog/VHDL and EDA tools are preferred.

Individuals lacking the specified educational qualifications (M.E./M.Tech./M.Sc. or B.E./B.Tech./M.Sc. in relevant disciplines) or without a valid GATE/NET score (if applying with a B.E./B.Tech./M.Sc. degree) should not apply. The contractual nature of the position, initially for one year, may be a dealbreaker for candidates seeking permanent government employment. Additionally, those who do not meet the age criteria (30 years for JRF, 32 years for SRF) will not be eligible.

Working as a JRF/SRF at IIT Jammu offers an excellent opportunity to gain prestigious research experience within a cutting-edge project (iPACE-CHIP) sponsored by MeitY. This role provides exposure to advanced VLSI design for medical applications and contributes to significant technological innovation. While the position is contractual, it can serve as a strong foundation for future careers in research and development, particularly in the semiconductor and biomedical industries, and offers encouragement for pursuing a PhD at IIT Jammu.
