Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian citizens with an M.Sc. or B.S.-M.S. in Chemistry and a valid NET/GATE qualification. Candidates possessing basic knowledge in physical/theoretical chemistry and prior experience with DFT calculations will find themselves particularly well-suited for this temporary research position. It offers an excellent opportunity to gain research experience within a project-based framework under the guidance of Dr. Shanti Gopal Patra at a premier national institute.

Individuals without a valid NET/GATE qualification or the specified Master's degree in Chemistry should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment might find the 'temporary' nature and performance-based extension of this research fellowship unsuitable. The single vacancy makes this a highly competitive position, and candidates preferring a direct recruitment process without a potential interview-based shortlisting may also reconsider.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Technology Silchar, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic prestige and invaluable experience in advanced research. While the position is temporary, it provides a strong foundation for a career in academia or research, enhancing future prospects for Ph.D. admissions or advanced research roles. The project's focus on 'Rational Computational Engineering' is cutting-edge, offering exposure to advanced computational chemistry techniques.
