Junior Research Fellow, Project Associate I & Project Associate II

This recruitment is ideally suited for highly motivated Indian nationals with a strong academic background in Computer Science, IT, Electrical, Communication, or Electronics Engineering, and related fields. Candidates with a M.E./M.Tech are perfect for the JRF role, while B.E./B.Tech, MCA, or Master's degree holders in specific Earth Sciences disciplines can target Project Associate positions. Those with a GATE/NET score will receive preference, and applicants for Project Associate II must possess at least two years of relevant research and development experience. These roles are excellent for individuals looking to gain valuable research experience in IoT and Deep Learning-Based Landslide Monitoring, with potential for PhD enrollment.

Candidates lacking the specified educational qualifications (minimum B.E./B.Tech or equivalent) with at least 60% marks/6.5 CGPA should not apply. Those without the mandatory 2 years of research experience for the Project Associate II role will not be considered for that specific position. The positions are temporary and contractual, tied to the project duration, which might not suit those seeking permanent employment immediately. Applicants not willing to work in Chumukedima, Nagaland, or who cannot submit applications by the deadline of August 31, 2026, should also reconsider.

Working at a National Institute of Technology (NIT), an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, Govt. of India, offers significant academic and research prestige. These project-based roles provide an excellent opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in 'IoT and Deep Learning-Based Landslide Monitoring and Early Warning System' funded by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF). This experience will be highly valuable for future academic or research careers, with the added benefit of potential enrollment in a PhD program at the Institute. While contractual, the roles offer competitive remuneration and exposure to advanced technologies and methodologies.
