NIT Jamshedpur Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for dedicated research enthusiasts holding a First Class M.E/M.Tech degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Production Engineering, coupled with at least two years of prior research experience. Candidates with hands-on expertise in specialized areas like coatings, DC magnetron sputtering, corrosion, tribology, and materials processing are particularly well-suited. The position is also attractive for those interested in pursuing a Ph.D. at NIT Jamshedpur, as the selected candidate may be considered for admission.

Individuals seeking permanent employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-based position initially for 5 months, extendable up to 11 months. Candidates lacking the essential M.E/M.Tech qualification or the mandatory two years of research experience will not be eligible. Due to the single vacancy, applicants must be prepared for highly competitive selection.

The role involves contributing to a SERB-sponsored project, providing exposure to cutting-edge research in nuclear application materials. This experience is invaluable for future academic pursuits, particularly for those considering a Ph.D., and enhances long-term career prospects in research and development.
