BHU JRF Physics Recruitment 2026

BHU JRF Physics Recruitment 2026: Overview

Banaras Hindu University (BHU) is hiring a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) for a Physics project at its Institute of Science in Varanasi. The work concerns chalcogenide-polymer composites for flexible and wearable electronics, with funding from the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), New Delhi.

The project brings together material development and characterisation, with flexible and wearable electronics as its focus. You would join the project led by Prof. Horesh Kumar in the Department of Physics. This is a project-linked research appointment, so its continuation is tied to the funded work.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project tenure: The funded project has a sanctioned duration of three years. The JRF appointment is temporary and ends with the project. Keep that condition in mind when considering the research opportunity.
• Project identity: The notice identifies the work with project code P-07/1378. It concerns the development and characterisation of functional chalcogenide-polymer composites, specifically for flexible and wearable electronics.
• Preference rule: If other factors are equal, the notice gives preference to SC/ST applicants under Government of India rules. This is a conditional preference stated for this recruitment.
• Interview travel: BHU will not pay travel or daily allowance for attending the interview. You will need to meet those costs yourself if called.
