Junior Research Fellow/Project Associate I

This role is ideal for motivated postgraduate candidates with an M.S., M.Sc., or M.Tech. degree in Physics or related disciplines, demonstrating strong academic performance (60% minimum marks). Candidates who have qualified NET/GATE and possess prior experience in Computational Physics and Machine Learning, particularly with MATLAB or Python skills, will be highly preferred. It's an excellent opportunity for those keen on cutting-edge research in protein dynamics and aggregation, with a potential pathway to a PhD registration at BITS Pilani.

Individuals lacking the specified postgraduate degree or minimum academic qualifications should not apply. This position is not suitable for those without a strong background or interest in theoretical biophysics, molecular dynamics simulations, or AI-driven analysis related to protein research. As it is a contractual research position, candidates seeking permanent government employment may find it unsuitable. The age limit of 28 years (as of the interview date) will be a dealbreaker for older applicants.

Working at BITS Pilani, a highly respected institution, on a project funded by the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), offers significant academic prestige and exposure. This role provides a robust platform for developing specialized research skills in a high-impact area of biophysics, contributing to a project with national importance. It offers substantial long-term growth potential for a career in research and academia, including the possibility of PhD registration.
