Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated individuals holding a first-class Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, or Physics, who possess a strong interest in experimental research. Candidates aspiring to pursue a PhD are particularly well-suited, as the position offers encouragement and potential extension for doctoral studies at IIT Indore. Preference will be given to those with practical experience in material synthesis, characterization techniques, and data analysis skills.

Candidates lacking a first-class Bachelor's degree in the specified technical/scientific disciplines should not apply. Those primarily seeking a long-term, permanent government position without a research focus or interest in doctoral studies may find this contractual role less suitable, as it is initially for 12 months with a research-intensive profile and a clear pathway to PhD enrollment.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Indore offers significant academic prestige and valuable research experience within a premier Indian technical institution. This role provides an excellent foundation for a career in academia or industrial R&D, with a direct pathway to PhD enrollment, enhancing long-term growth prospects in research and specialized scientific fields.
