NIT Nagaland Recruitment 2026: 3 Junior and Senior Research Fellow Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly qualified and motivated Indian nationals holding M.E./M.Tech/M.S./M.Sc degrees in Mechanical, Materials Science, Aerospace, Physics, or related engineering disciplines, who possess a strong academic record (60% or 6.5 CGPA in UG/PG) and a valid GATE/NET score. Candidates with prior research experience in materials science, particularly those with 2 years for the SRF position and SCI publications, will find this opportunity particularly fitting for contributing to advanced materials research.

Individuals who do not meet the essential educational qualifications, lack a valid GATE/NET score, or do not have the mandatory 2 years of research experience for the SRF position should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment may find the temporary, contractual nature of this project-based role unsuitable, as the appointment is for the project duration (up to 5 years or completion) and renewed annually.

Working at the National Institute of Technology Nagaland, an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of HRD, offers significant academic prestige and a valuable opportunity to contribute to a nationally funded research project on Advanced Materials. While the positions are contractual and project-based, successful completion of such a project enhances research profiles, potentially leading to future academic or research roles and offers an opportunity to register for a Ph.D. program.
