SVNIT Surat Research Associate-I (RA-I) Recruitment 2026: 01 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated PhD holders in Chemistry with specialized research experience in nanomaterials-based optical sensors, particularly carbon-dots fluorescence sensors. Candidates with a strong publication record demonstrating expertise in this specific area, along with a willingness to undertake periodic field visits for sample collection and temporary stays, will find this position suitable for advancing their research career within a government-funded project.

Candidates without a Ph.D. in Chemistry, or those lacking specific research experience in nanomaterials and optical sensors (especially carbon-dots based fluorescence sensors) as evidenced by publications, should not apply, as these are critical for shortlisting. Individuals seeking a permanent position or unwilling to travel for field work and temporary assignments would also find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Research Associate at Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT), an Institute of National Importance, offers a strong academic and research foundation. This project, funded by the Ministry of Coal, provides exposure to applied research with national significance. While the position is temporary (one year or project duration), it offers valuable experience and networking opportunities in a reputable institution, enhancing future prospects in both academia and industry.
