Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for individuals holding a Master's degree (M.E./M.Tech./M.S. or M.Sc.) or a Bachelor's degree (B.E./B.Tech.) in relevant engineering or science disciplines (ECE, EIE, EEE, ETC, EE, CSE, Data Science) with a minimum of 60% marks or a CGPA of 6.0. Crucially, candidates must possess a valid GATE/NET score or, if their M.E./M.Tech. degree was GATE-qualified, a separate GATE score is not needed. Preference will be given to candidates with prior research experience in Speech Processing, Deep Learning, or Artificial Intelligence, making it suitable for aspiring researchers.

Candidates who do not meet the specified educational qualifications or minimum marks will not be considered. Lacking a valid GATE/NET score (where applicable) is a significant dealbreaker. This is a project-based contractual position for an initial period of one year, so individuals seeking permanent government employment or a long-term, tenure-track role should explore other opportunities.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Jammu, a premier national institution, offers significant prestige and an excellent platform for research experience. The project, focused on 'A Language Diarization Framework for Indian Low-Resourced Code-Switching Multilingual Speech' and sanctioned by Anusandhan National Research Foundation, is cutting-edge. This role provides invaluable exposure to advanced research methodologies and technologies in AI and Speech Processing, which can be a strong foundation for future academic pursuits (e.g., PhD) or careers in R&D within industry. While it is a contractual position, the experience gained from a project at an IIT is highly valued.
