Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated engineering postgraduates (M.E/M.Tech) or accomplished graduates (B.E/B.Tech) in Electrical, Electronics & Communication, Computer Science, or Information Technology. Candidates must possess a strong academic record, a valid GATE score (with specified percentiles), and a keen interest in cutting-edge research related to cyber-resilient electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Those with desirable research experience in power electronics, grid integration, IoT sensors, and AI-based control are particularly well-suited. This temporary, project-based position offers an excellent opportunity for individuals aiming for research exposure and potential Ph.D. enrollment.

Candidates lacking the specified Master's or Bachelor's degree, or without the required GATE score and minimum marks/CGPA, should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment will find this temporary, project-specific role unsuitable. Individuals without a strong interest or background in the niche area of EV charging infrastructure, cyber-resilience, and associated technologies may also find this role less appealing.

The Indian Institute of Engineering Science & Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, is a highly reputed institution, offering a strong platform for academic and research pursuits. This JRF position, under a project sponsored by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), Govt. of India, provides valuable exposure to significant national research initiatives. While temporary, the role offers a pathway for Ph.D. enrollment, which can be a stepping stone for a career in academia, R&D, or specialized industry roles, enhancing long-term growth prospects in the research domain.
