Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian nationals holding a B.Tech./B.E./M.Sc. in Physics, Engineering, or related fields with excellent academic records (60% marks/6.0 CGPA) and mandatory qualification through a national-level fellowship exam (CSIR-UGC NET, GATE, INSPIRE, etc.). Candidates with a strong interest in quantum-enhanced bio-imaging research, quantum optics, machine learning for imaging, or embedded systems, and aspiring for a career in cutting-edge research, would be well-suited.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a temporary, project-based contractual position. Applicants who do not possess a mandatory national-level fellowship qualification or lack the specified educational background in relevant science/engineering disciplines will not be considered. Those without a keen interest in interdisciplinary research involving quantum technology and bio-imaging may find the role less engaging.

IIT Mandi is a prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, offering an excellent environment for advanced scientific research. This JRF position, focusing on quantum-enhanced bio-imaging, provides exposure to state-of-the-art technology and interdisciplinary collaboration, significantly enhancing a researcher's profile. Although temporary (up to 36 months), it offers a strong foundation for future academic or industrial research roles, with potential for Ph.D. admission within the institute, contributing to long-term career growth in a specialized, high-demand scientific area.
