NIT Warangal Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

National Institute of Technology Warangal (NIT Warangal) has released a JRF advertisement for the project Deep Acoustic Shield: Towards distributed active noise mitigation in neonatal intensive care unit employing deep learning framework integrated with mobile platform. The project is sponsored by ANRF-ARG and is linked to research in signal processing, artificial intelligence, IoT, machine learning and healthcare-related acoustic systems. This is a temporary research position for 3 years or until project closure, whichever happens earlier.

The selected JRF will work with Prof. Vasundhara and the project team. Performance will be reviewed every year. The notification also says the selected person may be eligible for PhD admission at NIT Warangal as per institute rules, but they must separately apply when the PhD advertisement opens.

Why this project matters: Neonatal intensive care units need quieter sound environments for newborn care. This project uses a deep learning framework integrated with a mobile platform, so the JRF role connects ECE fundamentals with applied healthcare technology research. It is best suited for someone comfortable with signals, coding, simulation and research documentation and lab coordination.
