Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian nationals holding a Graduate or Postgraduate degree in Professional Courses (B.E./B.Tech./M.E./M.Tech.) or Basic Sciences. Candidates with a strong interest or background in AI/ML, deep learning, speech and language models, AI systems, and computer architecture/GPU optimization for AI workloads will find this position particularly suitable for gaining project-based research experience at a national institution.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a contractual position for a fixed duration (36 months) with no claim to regular status. Those who do not meet the specified educational qualifications or are not interested in research-focused work involving AI/ML and speech processing will not be a good fit.

IIIT Dharwad, an Institute of National Importance, offers a credible platform for research and academic growth. While the position is project-limited, it provides valuable experience that can serve as a strong foundation for pursuing higher studies (M.Tech/PhD) or securing future R&D roles in industry or academia. The exposure to cutting-edge AI/ML research under experienced faculty adds significant value.
