Junior Research Fellow, Senior Research Fellow & Project Associate

This role is ideal for highly motivated post-graduate students holding an M.Sc. in Physics, Astronomy, or equivalent, with a keen interest in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations and JWST observations. Candidates with strong computer programming skills, a background in basic physics/mathematics, and an inclination towards Machine Learning/Deep Learning techniques are particularly well-suited. This position offers an excellent opportunity for those aspiring to pursue a PhD, with a provision to register for the PhD program at IIT Indore.

Candidates without the specific M.Sc. qualification or a genuine interest in astrophysics and computational research should not apply. Those seeking permanent employment or roles outside a research-intensive, time-bound project environment will find this position unsuitable. The one-vacancy limit also implies a highly competitive selection process.

Working at IIT Indore, a renowned institution of national importance, offers significant prestige and exposure. This project, focusing on cutting-edge research using JWST observations, provides a solid foundation for an academic or research career. While initially contractual, it offers a direct pathway to a PhD, significantly enhancing long-term growth prospects in the scientific community.
