This role is ideal for highly qualified engineering graduates or postgraduates with a strong academic background in Mechanical Engineering or related material science disciplines. Candidates who have cleared national eligibility tests like CSIR-UGC NET/GATE are particularly suitable, as they qualify for a higher stipend. Individuals with an M.Tech degree and practical experience in nanomaterials, CFRP, composite manufacturing, and mechanical characterization will find this project highly aligned with their expertise for advancing their research careers.

Candidates without the specified engineering degrees (B.Tech/B.E./M.Tech./M.E.) and relevant specialization are not eligible. Those seeking permanent government employment should note this is a temporary, project-based position with a maximum duration of three years.
