IIT Indore JRF Metallurgy Recruitment 2026

IIT Indore Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Indore (IIT Indore) is hiring a Junior Research Fellow for an Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) RESPOND project in its Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science. The project studies fracture toughness in additively manufactured IN718, IN625 and XH67 components for space applications. It brings together experimental work and numerical analysis, so the research connects material testing with analytical study.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project appointment: You join a research fellowship linked to ISRO RESPOND project ISRO/RES/3/1014/23-24. The engagement is tied to this materials investigation.
• Initial tenure: The fellowship starts with a three-month appointment. It may be extended up to the end of the project, so continuation beyond the initial period is not automatic.
• Research setting: The notice highlights learning opportunities in mechanical testing, fatigue and fracture mechanics, materials characterisation and numerical analysis. These areas connect to the project's study of advanced materials for space use.
• Travel costs: The institute will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the interview. Keep this condition in mind if you are asked to attend in person.
• Communication: IIT Indore will notify selected applicants by email. Use an email account you can check throughout the recruitment process.
