Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for motivated individuals holding a B.Tech./B.E. or M.Tech./M.E. in Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science, Materials Engineering, or Computational Chemistry, who have also qualified GATE or an equivalent national-level examination. Candidates with a strong academic record, especially those familiar with Molecular Dynamics simulations, polymer modelling, membrane science, or prior research experience in computational materials/energy-related applications, will find this opportunity highly suitable for a career in research.

Candidates without the specified engineering/scientific degrees or those who have not qualified GATE or an equivalent national-level examination should not apply. Individuals seeking a permanent government position or those unwilling to commit to a project-based contractual role for up to 3 years may find this opportunity unsuitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) like IIT Jammu offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research experience. This project, funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and involving an international collaboration, provides excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in sustainable green hydrogen production, enhancing long-term career prospects in academia or R&D.
