Jr. Research Fellow

This role is ideally suited for ambitious postgraduate candidates holding an M.Sc. or B.Tech/M.Tech in Physics, Mathematics, Atmospheric Sciences, Meteorology, Oceanography, or Earth Sciences. A valid NET/GATE qualification is essential, though it may be relaxed for graduates from Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs) with a CGPA of 8.000 or higher. Individuals with a strong academic background and a keen interest in atmospheric research, satellite data analysis, and high-performance chemical transport modelling will find this a challenging and rewarding opportunity.

Candidates without the specified science or engineering degrees, or those who do not meet the NET/GATE qualification (and are not eligible for the CFTI relaxation), should not apply. This is a contractual, project-based position, making it unsuitable for individuals seeking permanent government employment. Those uncomfortable with working on a specific research project with a defined duration should also reconsider.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, a leading institution for scientific and technological education and research in India, offers immense prestige and invaluable research experience. The project, in collaboration with ISRO, is focused on improving satellite retrievals for atmospheric data, indicating a significant contribution to cutting-edge environmental science. This role provides an excellent foundation for a career in research, academia, or specialized scientific fields, opening doors for higher studies or subsequent research positions.
