Junior Research Fellow, Junior Project Fellow & Field Worker

This role is ideal for early career researchers and engineers with specific qualifications in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering. Candidates holding M.E./M.Tech., MCA, or a Master's degree, or a three-year Diploma in Engineering, who are seeking temporary, project-based work in a specialized research area related to automated monitoring and defect detection systems in mining operations, will find this opportunity suitable. It offers valuable experience in a niche and industry-relevant research project.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with a broader, long-term career progression should not apply, as these are temporary and contractual positions. Candidates who do not meet the highly specific educational qualifications in the mentioned engineering and IT disciplines, or those not prepared for project-specific research tasks, will not be suitable. There is no provision for TA/DA for interviews.

Annamalai University is a well-established state university in India. The project is funded by NLC India Limited (NLCIL), a reputable public sector undertaking, which lends credibility and industry relevance to the research work. While the positions are temporary, they offer good short-term research experience and exposure to an important industrial application. However, direct long-term career progression within the university from these specific project roles is limited, and candidates should view this as a stepping stone for specialized experience rather than a direct path to a permanent university position.
