MANIT Bhopal Recruitment 2026: Apply for Junior Research Fellow (JRF) - 1 Vacancy

This role is most suitable for highly motivated and research-oriented candidates with a strong background in Mechanical, Automobile, Production, Material Science, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Electronics, or Physics (M.E./M.Tech/M.Sc or B.Tech/B.E. with GATE qualification). Ideal applicants will demonstrate a keen interest in tribology, energy harvesting, and smart sensing systems. Candidates possessing practical skills in embedded systems, microcontrollers, CAD/CAE tools, and strong technical writing abilities are particularly well-suited. The position also offers a valuable opportunity for those aspiring to pursue a Ph.D. degree at MANIT Bhopal.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, contract-based research position co-terminus with the project. Those without the specified educational qualifications or a strong aptitude for research in the relevant technical domains will find this role unsuitable. Candidates exceeding 33 years of age (without eligible government age relaxation) will also not qualify. Lack of interest in contributing to a specific, time-bound research project makes this role a poor fit.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) Bhopal, a renowned National Institute of Technology, offers significant prestige. The project is funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST)-Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), indicating a high-impact research endeavor. This position provides excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in tribology, energy harvesting, and smart sensing, offering a robust foundation for an academic or research career. The eligibility to register for a Ph.D. further enhances its long-term growth potential in specialized engineering and scientific fields.
