Research Associate & Junior Research Fellow

Doctoral and postgraduate engineering candidates with a strong research background and GATE qualification are ideal. Specifically, Ph.D. holders with published SCI/Scopus papers for the Research Associate role, and B.E./B.Tech./M.E./M.Tech./MS graduates with a minimum 7.5 CGPA/70% marks and GATE qualification for the Junior Research Fellow position. Candidates must be proficient in areas like Unmanned Aircraft Systems, structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, mechatronics, and control systems, and be Indian citizens looking for temporary, project-based research opportunities.

This opportunity is unsuitable for individuals seeking permanent government employment, as both positions are purely temporary and do not guarantee absorption into the institute. Candidates without the specified Ph.D. or B.E./B.Tech./M.E./M.Tech./MS degrees and mandatory GATE qualification should not apply. Those without prior research publication experience (for RA-III) or sufficient academic performance will not meet eligibility criteria.

National Institute of Technology Durgapur is a well-regarded institution, and this project, funded by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), offers a prestigious platform for cutting-edge research in Unmanned Aircraft Systems. While the roles are temporary, they provide valuable experience, significant exposure to advanced research, and networking opportunities within a premier educational and research environment, enhancing long-term career prospects in academia or specialized industries.
