Research Associate & Technical Assistant

This opportunity is ideal for highly motivated and research-oriented individuals. The Research Associate role suits PhD holders or those with an M.Tech/ME/MS degree and at least 3 years of research experience, particularly in Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgical, Materials, Chemical Engineering, or Chemistry, with a strong publication record. The Technical Assistant position is suitable for candidates with a First Class B.Sc. or a 3-year Diploma in Engineering & Technology, preferably with experience in CFTI/research labs/industry. Both roles are best for those seeking project-based work within a prestigious academic and research environment.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should note these are contractual, project-based positions with an initial one-year duration. Those without the specified academic qualifications or relevant research/technical experience, particularly the mandatory 3 years for Research Associate applicants with Master's degrees, should not apply. Individuals looking for a typical 'Group A/B/C/D' government role might find this position's structure different.

Working at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore, an Institution of National Importance, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research. While these are project-based roles, they provide invaluable experience in a high-caliber research setting. For Master's degree holders selected as Research Associates, there is a potential pathway to admission into a Ph.D. program at IIT Indore, which could lead to substantial long-term academic and career growth.
