Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for M.Sc. Chemistry graduates (or related suitable M.Sc. degrees) with a minimum of 60% marks, who are passionate about interdisciplinary research. Candidates with a strong interest or prior knowledge in spectroscopy and microscopy, particularly in biological tissues, will be highly preferred. It's a great opportunity for individuals looking to gain specialized research experience in a prestigious institution, potentially as a stepping stone towards a Ph.D.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a project-based contractual position with a fixed duration of three years. Individuals without a relevant M.Sc. degree or those exceeding the age limit of 28 years (as of the interview date) will not be eligible. This is also not suitable for those looking for a general science research role without a specific interest in the outlined interdisciplinary project areas.

BITS Pilani is a highly reputed institution in India for engineering and science education and research. This JRF position offers valuable, specialized research experience in an interdisciplinary project involving cutting-edge imaging techniques. While it is a contractual role, the experience gained here, especially under prominent PIs, can significantly enhance an individual's profile for future academic pursuits (like a Ph.D.) or specialized research roles in industry.
