Jr. Research Fellow

This role is most suitable for highly motivated candidates holding an MSc (or equivalent) in Chemistry, Biology, or Biotechnology, who have qualified NET/GATE or a national-level JRF eligibility test. Ideal applicants will possess a strong foundation in mathematics and demonstrate desirable experience in computational chemistry, molecular modelling, or programming (C++/Python), seeking to gain valuable project-based research experience at a premier Indian technical institution.

Individuals without the essential qualification of an MSc and a qualifying national-level eligibility test (NET/GATE or CFTI equivalent CGPA) should not apply. This position is a contractual project appointment, so candidates seeking permanent government employment or those unwilling to commit to the project's duration should consider other options. A lack of interest or background in computational research methodologies may also be a significant disadvantage.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Delhi, a top-tier institution, offers significant academic prestige and excellent opportunities for professional networking. While contractual, this role provides invaluable hands-on research experience under a distinguished professor, which is highly beneficial for pursuing further academic degrees (e.g., Ph.D.) or advancing into specialized R&D roles in industry. The project's focus on cutting-edge molecular interactions also offers intellectual growth in a high-impact research area.
