National Institute of Technology Calicut (NITC) Research Associate-I Recruitment 2026 (01 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly qualified candidates with an M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and a Ph.D. (or thesis submitted) who possess strong experimental research experience. Preference is given to those with published work in SCI journals, keen on contributing to specific consultancy projects focused on hydrogen embrittlement testing.

Individuals without a Ph.D. or equivalent, lacking direct experimental research experience in the relevant area, or without an SCI publication will not be suitable. Candidates expecting TA/DA for the interview should also note that it will not be provided. Those currently employed must be prepared to submit an NOC.

Working as a Research Associate at a National Institute of Technology (NITC) offers significant academic prestige and exposure to advanced research environments. While initially a contract of 3 months (extendable), it provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a specialized consultancy project, enhance research credentials, and potentially open doors for future academic or research positions within reputable institutions.
