Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated M.Tech./M.Sc. graduates in Materials Science, Ceramics, Metallurgy, Mechanical, Chemical, Physics, or Chemistry, especially those with a GATE/CSIR-UGC NET qualification. Candidates with prior desirable experience in ceramic materials processing and characterization (XRD, SEM) will be highly preferred. It suits individuals seeking temporary, project-based research experience in a prestigious institution under DRDO sponsorship, with a clear path for performance-based extension for up to 4 years.

Candidates without the specified Master's degrees and minimum 60% marks or a valid GATE/CSIR-UGC NET qualification should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or a position outside a temporary, project-specific framework will find this role unsuitable. Individuals over 28 years of age (without eligible relaxations) are also ineligible.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at IIT (BHU), a premier engineering institute in India, on a DRDO-sponsored project offers significant academic and research prestige. This temporary position provides valuable experience in cutting-edge materials research, enhancing future prospects in both academia and defence research sectors. While not a permanent role, it offers excellent networking opportunities and a strong foundation for a research career.
