Research Associate I & Jrf

These project positions are ideal for highly qualified individuals with a strong academic background in Civil, Geotechnical, Earthquake, Structural, or Mining Engineering. The Research Associate-I role is suited for Ph.D. holders with a publication record and expertise in physical/numerical modelling related to soil dynamics and explosions. The JRF position is perfect for B.Tech and M.Tech graduates (with GATE qualification) in relevant engineering disciplines who are keen to engage in high-strain rate material characterisation and numerical modelling.

Candidates without the specific educational qualifications (Ph.D. for RA-I, B.Tech/M.Tech with GATE for JRF) and relevant research experience should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles outside of a research-intensive, project-based environment may find these positions unsuitable. Individuals unable to travel to IIT Bombay for specific project tasks (if required for RA-I) would also face limitations.

Working at a premier institution like IIT Roorkee on a DRDO-sponsored research project offers significant academic prestige and invaluable exposure to cutting-edge research in civil engineering and defence applications. These roles provide an excellent foundation for a career in advanced research, academia, or specialized R&D sectors, particularly given the opportunity to contribute to high-impact projects and potentially be enrolled for a PhD (for eligible JRF candidates).
