NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY WARANGAL Junior Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated engineering or science graduates and postgraduates with a strong academic record (first class in B.E./B.Tech/B.Sc or M.E./M.Tech/M.Sc) in Civil Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, Geomatics, Remote Sensing, GIS, or related fields. Candidates with prior knowledge in Remote Sensing, GIS, Photogrammetry, UAV operations, AI/ML for image processing, and a passion for research in crop identification and health monitoring will find this opportunity particularly rewarding. For the Senior Research Fellow position, a minimum of two years of post-Master's research experience in geospatial analysis or remote sensing is mandatory, and a PhD is highly desirable.

Candidates without the specified engineering or science degrees (Civil, Agricultural, Geomatics, Remote Sensing, GIS, Geo-Informatics, Water Resources, Geography) and a first-class academic standing should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position or long-term employment should note this is a purely temporary, 6-month project-based role. Individuals unable to provide documented research experience for the SRF role will also not be suitable. There is no application fee, but no TA/DA will be provided for attending interviews.

Working as a Research Fellow at a National Institute of Technology like NIT Warangal offers significant academic prestige and invaluable experience in a project sponsored by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB). While the role is temporary (6 months), it provides an excellent platform for individuals interested in a research career, particularly in cutting-edge areas like UAV data and satellite imagery for agricultural monitoring. This experience can serve as a strong foundation for future research positions, PhD pursuits, or specialized roles in relevant industries, enhancing one's profile within the scientific and engineering communities.
