IIT BHU JRF Mathematical Sciences Recruitment 2026

IIT BHU JRF Mathematical Sciences Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi (IIT BHU) is looking for a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) for a research project funded under the ANRF-IRG scheme. The project is titled "Advanced Neural Network-Based Analysis of Selected Mathematical Models in Science and Engineering" (Project No. ANRF/IRG/2025/000423/MS) and is led by Prof. Rajeev as Principal Investigator.

This is a good fit if you have a postgraduate degree in Mathematics and want to work where neural networks meet mathematical modelling. The work happens on the IIT BHU campus in Varanasi, and the fellowship steps up in the third year of the project. The post is project-based, not a permanent faculty or staff job.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: The post is purely temporary and ends with the project. The project is sanctioned for 36 months, and the notice gives the JRF duration as 2.3 years.

• HRA on top: House Rent Allowance is paid in addition to the monthly fellowship.
• Funding-agency rules: The NET/GATE requirement and its equivalents follow ANRF specifications.
• Shortlisting: The PI can limit the number of candidates called for interview, using qualifications and experience above the minimum.
