Research Associate

This role is ideal for highly specialized candidates with a PhD or ME/MTech in Metallurgical/Materials/Mechanical/Chemical Engineering, coupled with at least three years of research and development experience post-ME/MTech. Individuals with expertise in powder metallurgy, additive manufacturing, gas atomization, and advanced materials will be particularly well-suited. The position offers an opportunity to work on a DRDO-sponsored project at a prestigious institution.

Those without the specified PhD or ME/MTech qualifications, or lacking the mandatory three years of post-ME/MTech R&D experience, should not apply. Candidates seeking a permanent government position will find this unsuitable as it is purely temporary and co-terminus with the project duration (maximum 3 years).

Working at IIT Hyderabad on a DRDO-sponsored project offers significant academic and research prestige, enhancing a candidate's profile within the scientific community. While the position is temporary, it provides valuable experience in cutting-edge research relevant to defense applications, offering excellent networking opportunities and a strong foundation for future research or industrial roles.
