IIT Jodhpur Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026

IIT Jodhpur Assistant Professor Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (IIT Jodhpur) is running a special faculty recruitment drive for candidates from SC, ST, OBC NCL and EWS categories. The institute is looking for full-time teachers and researchers who can strengthen both established engineering subjects and newer interdisciplinary areas. The opening spans departments and schools, so your research fit matters as much as the broad name of your degree.

Posts and Disciplines

• Aerospace Engineering: work may align with flight dynamics, guidance, propulsion, combustion, aeroacoustics, avionics or radar systems.
• Bioscience and Bioengineering: the focus includes regenerative medicine, translational bioengineering, biomanufacturing and mechanobiology.
• Core engineering: Chemical, Electrical, Materials, Energy and Automotive, and Environmental and Sustainability areas are included in the drive.
• Sciences: Mathematics and Physics applicants can match their research record to the areas identified by the institute.
• Interdisciplinary schools: the School of Management and Entrepreneurship and the School of Design are also part of the faculty search.

Post-wise Duties

Assistant Professor Grade I

You will design and teach courses, guide students and build an independent research programme in your department. The role also involves publishing research, developing laboratories or scholarly resources, and contributing to academic committees. You may supervise doctoral and postgraduate researchers while working with colleagues on institute-level projects.

Assistant Professor Grade II

You will take on teaching and research work while building the post-Ph.D. record needed for progression. Course preparation, student mentoring and research output remain central, but the appointment begins on a contractual grade and is reviewed before movement to Grade I.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Special drive: this advertisement is for Indian nationals in the SC, ST, OBC NCL and EWS categories; your certificate must support the category claimed in the form.
• Grade II review: applicants with shorter post-Ph.D. experience may be considered on contract, with conversion to a regular Grade I position depending on performance review.
• Service bond: a Grade II appointee who is later offered Grade I must agree to serve IIT Jodhpur for three years after joining the higher grade.
• Shortlisting: meeting the basic academic conditions does not automatically lead to an interview; the institute may use a higher benchmark when the applicant pool is large.
• Research fit: selection is tied to the advertised need areas, so your application should clearly connect publications, projects and teaching plans to the chosen department.
• Exceptional record: the selection committee can consider a higher starting package for an unusually strong academic or industrial profile.

• Teach undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the assigned discipline
• Develop course material, laboratories and assessment methods
• Guide doctoral, postgraduate and undergraduate research projects
• Publish original research and build funded research collaborations
• Mentor students and support academic advising in the department
• Serve on departmental and institute academic committees
• Connect research and teaching with relevant industry or public needs
