Berhampur University Project Assistant Recruitment 2026 (01 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for recent M.Sc. graduates in Marine Biology (preferably with a 1st Class degree) who are looking for initial research exposure in a government-sponsored project. Candidates with desirable experience in marine field surveys and molecular systematics will find this opportunity particularly fitting for gaining practical research skills and project-based work experience.

This position is strictly temporary, for a duration of 12 months, and co-terminus with the project. Individuals seeking permanent employment, long-term career stability within the institution, or a higher pay scale should not apply. There is no provision for claiming regular or part-time appointments after this period.

Working as a Project Assistant at Berhampur University under the Mukhyamantri Research and Innovation Program (MRIP), sponsored by the Odisha State Higher Education Council, offers valuable research experience within a state university framework. While the role is temporary and doesn't guarantee long-term institutional growth, it provides a credible foundation for a career in marine science research, especially for those considering further academic pursuits or short-term research contracts.
