Annamalai University Recruitment 2026 – Junior Research Fellow, Junior Project Fellow & Field Worker (3 Posts)

Yes, Annamalai University Recruitment 2026 is out. Annamalai University has released a notification for 3 contractual research-support posts — 1 Junior Research Fellow (JRF), 1 Junior Project Fellow (JPF) and 1 Field Worker — spanning a mix of postgraduate engineering, MCA and diploma-level qualifications. The three posts sit at different points in a typical university research-project team structure: the JRF role, drawing from M.E./M.Tech. holders in Computer Science, IT, EEE or ECE, is the most senior and highest-paid at Rs. 37,000 per month; the JPF role is open more broadly to MCA holders or Master's degree holders across Mechanical, CSE, IT, EEE and ECE at Rs. 24,000 per month; and the Field Worker role, requiring only a three-year Diploma in Engineering, supports on-ground project work at Rs. 20,000 per month. Together the three posts likely form a single funded research project team combining engineering research, computing support and field-level technical assistance. Eligible candidates can apply by email on or before 21 August 2026. Since all three posts are part of what appears to be a single project team with differing seniority levels, candidates should apply only for the specific post matching their qualification rather than assuming flexibility between roles.

• Junior Project Fellow (JPF): MCA, or a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Information Technology, EEE or ECE
