Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates holding a Master's degree in Civil Engineering with a first division and a valid GATE qualification. Individuals with a strong academic record (minimum 60% in graduation, 55% in 10th/12th), a keen interest in research related to geo-structures, numerical modelling, and with proficiency in relevant software (FLAC2D/FLAC3D, PLAXIS, Python/MATLAB) are particularly well-suited. It's an excellent opportunity for those aspiring to pursue a PhD, as the selected candidate will be encouraged to register for the PhD program at IIT Indore.

Candidates without a Master's degree in Civil Engineering or those who do not possess a valid GATE qualification should not apply. Individuals seeking permanent employment or lacking a strong foundation in research, particularly in numerical modelling and geo-structures, may find this temporary, project-based role unsuitable. Those whose age exceeds 30 years (preferably) might also face limitations.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Indore, a prestigious Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic and research exposure. This temporary position, linked to a Prime Minister Early Career Research Grant, provides a solid foundation for a research career and a direct pathway to a PhD program. It enhances a candidate's profile for future academic and R&D roles within India and abroad.
