Senior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly qualified engineering graduates and postgraduates with a strong academic background, particularly those holding a valid GATE/NET/UGC qualification. Candidates with practical experience in Design, Dynamic Simulation, and Additive Manufacturing, eager to contribute to a DRDO-sponsored research project in Mechanical Engineering, will find this opportunity suitable. It is particularly well-suited for individuals seeking temporary research exposure in a prestigious national institute.

Individuals without a Master's degree in a relevant engineering discipline, or those who haven't cleared GATE/NET/UGC, should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this temporary, contract-based role unsuitable, as its duration is limited to 1.5 years and contingent on performance. Candidates primarily looking for industry roles rather than academic research might also find this less aligned with their career goals.

Working at IIITDM Kurnool, an Institute of National Importance, on a DRDO-sponsored project offers significant academic prestige and invaluable research experience. While the role is temporary, it provides an excellent platform for contributing to cutting-edge defense technology research and can be a strong stepping stone for future Ph.D. studies or specialized research positions in both academia and R&D organizations.
