IIT Indore Research Associate Chemistry Recruitment 2026

IIT Indore Research Associate Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Indore (IIT Indore) is recruiting a Research Associate for a Ministry of Textiles project on advanced nanofibrous fabrics. The project explores a textile-based approach to reducing viral and bacterial infections, bringing the work into the context of combating pandemics. This is a project contract, with work connected to both IIT Indore and IIT Jammu.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project context: The advertised project is supported through NTTM under the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India. Its focus is on advanced fabrics and their potential use against infections, rather than a general departmental appointment.
• Tenure: Your initial appointment runs for one year or until the project finishes, whichever comes first. Project closure can therefore bring the engagement to an end before the full year is complete.
• Work locations: The notice expressly says the Research Associate must work at IIT Indore and IIT Jammu. You should plan for work at both institutions, rather than assuming the entire appointment is based at Indore.
• Appointment terms: The fellowship follows the funding agency’s norms and IIT Indore’s policy. The engagement is tied to this sponsored research project.
• Complete applications: The notice says incomplete applications will be rejected. Your application needs to give the project team the information it asks for in the prescribed submission.
