Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for fresh engineering graduates or postgraduates with a First Class B.E./B.Tech. (Electrical/Electrical & Electronics Engineering) and a valid GATE qualification, who are keen on pursuing research in cutting-edge areas like triboelectric energy harvesting. Candidates with an M.E./M.Tech. in High Voltage or Power System Engineering are highly desirable. It offers an excellent opportunity to gain research experience and potentially register for a Ph.D. program at IIT Roorkee.

Candidates without a First Class B.E./B.Tech. degree in Electrical or Electrical & Electronics Engineering and a valid GATE qualification should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this contractual, project-based role unsuitable. Individuals not interested in research or potential Ph.D. studies should also consider other opportunities.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT Roorkee, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research experience under the guidance of a Principal Investigator. This position provides a strong foundation for a career in academia or advanced R&D, with the added benefit of a pathway to a Ph.D. programme. While contractual, it offers strong long-term growth prospects for a research-oriented career.
