Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated candidates holding an M.E./M.Tech degree in Mechanical Engineering (specializing in Machine Design, Materials, Manufacturing) or Biomedical Engineering, with a strong academic record (minimum 60% marks at Master's level). Essential qualifications include being GATE/NET qualified. Candidates with desirable experience in COMSOL simulations, Additive Manufacturing, and Material Characterisation will have an added advantage, making this ideal for individuals keen on cutting-edge research in orthosis design using machine learning and recycled plastics.

Candidates lacking the specified M.E./M.Tech degree or without a valid GATE/NET qualification should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position or unwilling to commit to a temporary, project-based role (3 years or project completion) will find this opportunity unsuitable. Individuals without a genuine interest in research, particularly in the specified project domains, may not thrive.

National Institute of Technology Silchar is a prestigious federally funded institution, offering an excellent environment for academic and research pursuits. A Junior Research Fellow position, while contractual and project-based, provides invaluable research experience, networking opportunities, and a strong foundation for a future career in research, academia, or advanced technical roles. It serves as an excellent stepping stone for pursuing a Ph.D. or other higher research engagements.
