# IIIT Pune invites applications for JRF post in ISRO project 2026-11-07T20:46:27+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Indian Institute of Information Technology Pune (IIIT Pune) has invited applications for one Junior Research Fellow (JRF) post in an ISRO-sponsored project under the RESPOND Programme. The fellowship is ₹37,000 per month plus 30% HRA, and the initial appointment is for six months, extendable up to two years based on performance. Candidates must have a postgraduate degree in Basic Science or a graduate or postgraduate degree in a professional course, selected through NET, GATE, or a national-level examination. Preference will be given to those with a background in digital or wireless communication, channel coding, and MATLAB or Python. Applications must be emailed as a single PDF to [email protected] with the subject line 'Application for JRF Position, ISRO RESPOND Project' or submitted via Google Form. The tentative last date is 25 November 2026. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The notification leaves several details unspecified, including the age limit and application fee, which candidates must check in the official advertisement. The project is a temporary research role tied to ISRO funding, so the appointment is co-terminus with the project and offers no guarantee of extension beyond the initial six months. The interview is tentatively scheduled for 7 December 2026. ## Coverage - freejobalert.com Straight job listing with no political slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
