Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideally suited for ambitious postgraduates in basic sciences, particularly those with a background in Cognitive Science, Psychology, Neuroscience, or Linguistics, who possess a valid UGC-NET or GATE qualification. It's perfect for individuals passionate about research, especially in the intersection of emotions, language, and neural correlates, seeking to gain valuable project-based research experience within a central university environment.

Candidates without a postgraduate degree in a relevant basic science discipline or those who have not qualified UGC-NET or GATE should not apply. Individuals looking for permanent government employment will find this project-based, contractual role unsuitable. Those not comfortable with research-focused work for a fixed duration of three years should also look elsewhere.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at the Centre of Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences (CBCS), part of the esteemed University of Allahabad, carries significant academic prestige. The project is funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, adding to its credibility. This position offers an excellent platform for individuals aspiring to pursue higher research (e.g., PhD) and contribute to cutting-edge cognitive science research, providing valuable experience and a strong foundation for an academic or research career.
