Junior Research Fellow JRF & Research Associate RA I

This opportunity is ideal for highly qualified and research-oriented individuals holding M.Tech or Ph.D. degrees in specialized fields like Surveying, Geodesy, Geoinformatics, Geomatics Engg., or Remote Sensing & GIS. Candidates must possess a mandatory GATE qualification in Civil Engg. (CE) or Geomatics Engg. (GE). For the Research Associate role, a minimum of three years of relevant R&D experience and an SCI publication are essential for M.Tech holders. Strong mathematical skills and programming proficiency in Python or Machine Learning, coupled with practical knowledge of geodetic instruments and software, are highly desirable.

Candidates lacking the mandatory GATE qualification will not be considered. Those without the specified M.Tech or Ph.D. specializations in Geodesy-related fields should not apply. For the Research Associate position, M.Tech holders without the requisite three years of experience or an SCI publication are not suitable. Individuals seeking permanent government employment should note that these are purely temporary, contract-based project positions.

Working at MANIT Bhopal, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant prestige and a valuable platform for a career in research and academia. The roles are part of a central government-funded project (NRDMS, DST), providing exposure to cutting-edge research in Geodesy. Junior Research Fellows have the added benefit of potentially registering for a Ph.D. program at the institute, fostering long-term academic growth. While contract-based, these positions can enhance a research profile significantly.
