Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideally suited for candidates holding a B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, with a preference for those having a valid GATE score. The ideal candidate will possess strong programming skills in Python, experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow), hands-on expertise in IoT/embedded systems (Raspberry Pi, Arduino), and familiarity with GIS tools and web/database backends. This position is perfect for individuals seeking project-based research experience in a prestigious national institution.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary and contractual position for 18 months. Those lacking a strong technical background in the specified engineering disciplines or without practical experience in the listed technologies will find this role unsuitable. Individuals not comfortable with the fixed-term nature of the project or who are unable to relocate to/work from Mizoram should also consider other opportunities.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Technology Mizoram, an Institution of National Importance, offers significant prestige and exposure to a Central Government-funded research project. This opportunity provides valuable research experience in cutting-edge areas like IoT-driven mapping and worker safety intelligence, which can greatly enhance one's academic profile and open doors for future research or specialized industry roles, despite being a temporary assignment.
