IIIT Bhagalpur JRF Quantum Recruitment 2026

IIIT Bhagalpur JRF Quantum Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Information Technology Bhagalpur (IIIT Bhagalpur) is recruiting a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) for its Undergraduate Teaching Laboratories in Quantum Technologies project in Bihar. The work comes under the National Quantum Mission (NQM), with funding from the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. This is a project fellowship at an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education.

Dr. Dheeraj Kumar Sinha coordinates the project, which connects the fellowship to undergraduate teaching laboratories in quantum technologies. You would join a funded project with its own appointment conditions, and the institute expects the selected fellow to be ready to start promptly.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial tenure: Your appointment begins with one year. An extension for up to four more years depends on your performance, so the longer period is conditional.
• Project appointment: The notice describes the fellowship as temporary. Its continuation follows the institute and funding agency's rules.
• Early termination: The institute can end the fellowship before its scheduled completion if performance is unsatisfactory, with a 30-day notice.
• Joining: You should be ready to join immediately after receiving the offer. Keep this expectation in mind if you currently work elsewhere.
• Further study: The institute may encourage you to register for a PhD based on performance. This is an opportunity linked to your work, rather than a promise of admission.
• Travel: The institute will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the recruitment process.

Application Submission Notes

The walk-in venue is the Conference Room, Academic Block, IIIT Bhagalpur, with interviews starting at 11:00 AM. Questions about this fellowship can be sent to project coordinator Dr. Dheeraj Kumar Sinha at dksinha.ece@iiitbh.ac.in.
