Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for candidates holding a B.Tech, M.Tech, Integrated M.Tech, or M.Sc. in Food Process Engineering, Food Technology, Biochemical Engineering, Biotechnology, or related fields, with a strong academic record. Preference is given to those who are GATE or NET qualified. It suits individuals eager to gain temporary research experience within a Central University environment, focusing on a specific project in food science and technology.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment or those without the specified engineering/food science academic qualifications should not apply. The position has a strict age limit of 28 years (with government relaxations for reserved categories), which could be a dealbreaker for older applicants. Individuals not interested in project-based, temporary research roles should also reconsider.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at Tezpur University, a Central University, offers a respectable platform for scientific research and academic exposure. While the position is temporary, it provides valuable hands-on experience in a specialized research project, enhancing academic credentials and potentially paving the way for PhD studies or further research positions in the food technology sector. The scope for long-term growth is dependent on individual performance and future research funding opportunities.
