Junior Research Fellow & Project Associate I

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates holding a Master's degree in Mechanical, Materials, Production, or Chemical Engineering with a first-class academic record in both Bachelor's and Master's degrees. Candidates with a GATE score are preferred for higher remuneration. Those with a strong interest in microstructural characterization and corrosion analysis, and aspirations for PhD admission at NIT Calicut, will find this a suitable opportunity.

Individuals lacking the specified engineering degrees, not meeting the first-class academic criteria, or seeking a permanent employment position should not apply. The role is contract-based for a short duration (4 months), so those looking for long-term stability might find it unsuitable. Candidates without a foundational interest in research, particularly in corrosion science, would also not be a good fit.

Working at NIT Calicut, a respected national institution, on a project sponsored by NPOL, DRDO, offers significant prestige and exposure to high-level research. The opportunity for PhD admission at NIT Calicut is a major career advancement for research aspirants. While the initial engagement is short-term (4 months), the experience gained and potential for higher studies are valuable for long-term career growth in academia and research.
