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

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates holding an M.E./M.Tech./M.S. or M.Sc. in Chemical Engineering or a related discipline, with a valid GATE score or UGC/CSIR-JRF qualification. Candidates with hands-on wet lab experience, analytical skills, and a keen interest in pursuing a Ph.D. at NIT Rourkela, particularly in bio-based material development for carbon capture, will find this opportunity most suitable.

Individuals lacking the specified postgraduate qualifications (M.E./M.Tech./M.S. or M.Sc.), a valid GATE/JRF score, or practical experience in wet lab experimentation and reactor handling should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment will find this position unsuitable as it is a temporary, project-based contractual role for a fixed term of up to three years.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at NIT Rourkela, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant academic and research exposure within a prestigious environment. This temporary project role provides a strong foundation for a career in research and is particularly advantageous for those aspiring to pursue a Ph.D., offering valuable experience and a potential pathway to doctoral studies within the institution.
