Anna University ICMR-NOHM Project Research Scientist - III Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly experienced post-graduate professionals or PhD holders in Life Sciences, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, or Biotechnology. Candidates with a strong research background and a minimum of 2-5 years of post-qualification experience are sought. The position suits individuals passionate about public health research, particularly in vaccine development for poultry viruses, who thrive in a project-based, collaborative environment and are adept at data analysis, report writing, and scientific dissemination.

Individuals without the specified post-graduate degree or PhD, or lacking the requisite 2-5 years of post-qualification research experience, should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment might find the one-year contractual nature of this project role, extendable based on performance, unsuitable. Candidates unwilling to relocate to Chennai or attend an in-person interview (date to be intimated) should also reconsider.

Working with Anna University and on an ICMR-sanctioned project offers significant academic and research prestige, particularly in the field of public health and vaccine development. While the initial appointment is contractual for one year, involvement in such a project enhances a researcher's profile. This role provides an excellent platform for scientific contributions and networking within national research frameworks, offering valuable experience for career progression in academia or R&D.
