Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for M.Tech/M.Sc/B.Tech/B.E graduates with a strong academic record and a valid GATE/NET score, particularly those specializing in Mechanical, Production, Materials Science, Aerospace, Physics, Chemistry, or related engineering/science disciplines. Candidates aspiring for a career in research, especially in advanced materials and additive manufacturing for aerospace applications, and those comfortable with multidisciplinary work, will find this a valuable opportunity.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a project-based contractual role with a maximum duration of five years. Candidates lacking a valid GATE/NET score or the specified minimum academic qualifications (percentages/CGPA) are ineligible. Those not interested in focused research work on nano-ceramic composites will find this role less suitable.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain significant research experience at the prestigious Indian Institute of Engineering Science & Technology (IIEST) Shibpur, an Institution of National Importance. The project, sponsored by the Government of India through ANRF, involves cutting-edge research in materials science and additive manufacturing for aerospace, offering a strong foundation for future academic pursuits (e.g., PhD) or R&D careers in specialized industries.
