Junior Research Fellow

This role is most suitable for highly motivated candidates holding an M.Tech (or B.Tech with relevant specialization) in Power Electronics and Drives, or Electrical/Electronics Engineering, who are also GATE qualified. Ideal applicants will have a strong academic background and a keen interest in advanced electric drive systems for electric vehicle (EV) applications, particularly in real-time fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control. Preference will be given to candidates with hands-on hardware experience, making it perfect for aspiring researchers looking for project-based work in a prestigious institution.

Candidates who do not possess a mandatory GATE qualification or the specified engineering degrees should not apply. Individuals seeking a permanent government position rather than a fixed-term project role (23 months) might find this unsuitable. Those unwilling to undertake project-specific research in Dhanbad and contribute to high-quality publications should also reconsider applying.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad offers significant academic and research prestige. This project provides an excellent opportunity to engage with cutting-edge technology in electric vehicle applications and fault diagnosis. Such a role serves as a strong foundation for future academic pursuits (e.g., PhD) or careers in advanced R&D within industry, enhancing one's research profile and professional network within a leading technological institute.
