University of Hyderabad SRF/JRF Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post

The University of Hyderabad (UoH), School of Physics, has invited applications for one Senior Research Fellow (SRF) / Junior Research Fellow (JRF) post under a CSIR-sponsored research project on economically-viable rare-earth-free permanent magnets based on binary and pseudo-binary intermetallic alloys of iron. The last date for receipt of applications is 24 November 2026. Applications go by email to the Principal Investigator, Prof. Ajit K. Patra.

Distinct from the other UoH SRF/JRF notice

This post is different from the live UoH School of Physics JRF/SRF notice (ID 728) — that one is a DRDO/ANRF project on SERS-based detection of trace explosives (Ref. UH/PHY/DRDO/SVR/JRF-SRF-Advt/2026, PDF 12009.pdf, 2 posts, email somavenu@gmail.com). This post is the CSIR rare-earth-free magnets project, official PDF 12013.pdf dated 10 November 2026, 1 post, email akpatra@uohyd.ac.in. Do not merge the two.

Fellowship and tenure

SRF: Rs. 42,000 per month plus HRA. JRF: Rs. 37,000 per month plus HRA, at the applicable rate. The single post will be filled as SRF if a suitable candidate is found. Tenure is initially 12 months, extendable till project completion on performance and fund availability. The engagement is purely temporary and contractual, with no claim to regular appointment.

Who can apply

SRF: M.Sc, BE or B.Tech or equivalent plus at least 2 years of post-M.Sc/BE/B.Tech research experience evidenced by published papers in standard refereed journals, or M.Tech/ME or equivalent in Engineering or Technology. JRF: a BS four-year programme, Integrated BS-MS, M.Sc, BE or B.Tech or equivalent with 55 percent marks plus a valid NET or GATE score. Desirable: specialisation in Condensed Matter Physics and experience in synthesising and characterising the structural and magnetic properties of intermetallic alloys. Age: SRF up to 32 years, JRF up to 28 years, with up to 5 years' relaxation for SC/ST/OBC, women and physically handicapped candidates; no cut-off date is printed.

Fee

No fee amount is stated anywhere in the notice. The application Form B carries a 'fee payment details' box but no amount is printed, so no fee is claimed in this post — do not pay any fee unless the University states one.

How to apply

Send the filled-in application (Form B) by email to akpatra@uohyd.ac.in so that it reaches by 24 November 2026. No interview date is printed; only eligible candidates will be informed by email or letter later. No TA/DA is payable.
