About this Job Notification
1 Junior Research Fellow (Department of Chemistry) vacancy at Indian Institute of Technology Jammu (IIT Jammu)
Applications will be accepted from eligible candidates for 1 post of Junior Research Fellow (Department of Chemistry) on fixed-term basis under a research project at Indian Institute of Technology Jammu (IIT Jammu). Last date to submit Applications is 03-04-2026.
| Post Name | Junior Research Fellow (Department of Chemistry) |
| Project Name | Catalytic Enantio- and Diastereo-selective Synthesis of Medium-Sized Bridged Bi- and Tri-Aryls Bearing Central/Axial/Inherent Chirality |
| Project Description | This high-level organic chemistry project, funded by the ANRF, explores the synthesis of complex bridged bi- and tri-aryls. These molecules are challenging to synthesize because they contain multiple forms of chirality—central (stereocenters), axial (atropisomerism), and inherent (geometry-driven)—all within a single medium-sized ring system. The research focuses on developing new asymmetric catalysts to control the spatial arrangement of these atoms with high precision, creating scaffolds that are highly valuable as ligands in catalysis or as structural cores in drug discovery. |
| Duration | Initially for one year, with a possible extension of two additional years or until project completion, whichever is earlier. |
| Vacancy | 1 |
| Qualification | M.Sc. or equivalent degree in Chemistry with at least 6.5 CGPA or 60% marks in aggregate |
| Monthly Salary | Rs 37,000/- per month + HRA |
| Age Limit | maximum 28 years |
| Selection Process | On the basis of interviews to be held after initial shortlisting based on academic qualifications. |
| Application Fee | Nil (No fee is required to be paid) |
