Junior Research Fellow & Project Associate

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate or graduate engineers (M.Tech/M.S./M.E. or B.Tech/B.E.) with a strong academic background in Computer Science, IT, Electronics, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering. Candidates with GATE/CSIR-UGC NET qualification are strongly preferred for the JRF position, demonstrating a solid foundation for research. A keen interest in machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, or robotics is beneficial, especially for those looking to pursue a Ph.D. as the project duration allows for enrollment in a Ph.D. program at the institute.

Candidates without the specified engineering degrees (M.Tech/B.Tech equivalent) or a relevant M.Sc. should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this unsuitable as it is a project-based, contractual role for a duration of approximately 1.5 to 3 years. Individuals not comfortable with research-intensive work or those lacking a strong understanding of computer models and physics tests in the context of automated vehicles will find it challenging.

Working as a JRF or Project Associate at an Institute of National Importance like ABV-IIITM Gwalior offers significant academic prestige and valuable research experience. The project's collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, IIT Jammu, and IIIT Allahabad provides exposure to a high-caliber research environment. While the role is contractual, it offers a pathway to a Ph.D. and builds a strong foundation for a career in research, academia, or specialized R&D roles in both public and private sectors, particularly in AI and autonomous systems.
