Research Associate & Project Associate I

This role is ideal for highly motivated researchers and engineers specializing in Mechanical Engineering, Textiles, or Materials. Candidates holding a Ph.D. or M.E./M.Tech. with relevant research experience are suited for the Research Associate post, while fresh B.E./B.Tech. graduates in the specified fields can apply for the Project Associate-I role. Strong technical skills in fiber processing, characterization, design, and fabrication are highly desirable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely contractual positions for a limited duration (one year). Those without the specified educational qualifications or the required research experience (for Research Associate) will not be considered. Applicants expecting TA/DA for interviews should note that it will not be provided.

NIT Hamirpur is an Institute of National Importance, offering a valuable opportunity to work on a Ministry of Textiles-funded project. While the positions are contractual, they provide excellent research experience within a prestigious academic environment, enhancing future career prospects in research and development, particularly for those interested in sustainable textiles. Long-term growth directly within these specific contractual roles is limited by the project duration, but the experience gained is highly transferable.
