BITS Pilani K K Birla Goa Campus Research Positions 2026 | 4 Vacancies for Research Associate, Assistant, and Project Fellow

This opportunity is ideal for dedicated researchers holding a PhD or Master's degree in Biological Sciences, Biotechnology, or related engineering fields. Candidates with specific experience in wastewater treatment, electrochemical systems, bioelectrochemical systems, algal biorefinery, or metal recovery processes will find these roles particularly suitable. These project-based positions offer valuable hands-on research experience within a prestigious academic setting, with potential for Project Fellows to enroll in a PhD program.

Individuals seeking permanent employment or roles outside of short to medium-term contract research should not apply. Those lacking the highly specific research experience or educational qualifications outlined for each post, particularly the PhD requirement for Research Associate or relevant Master's for Project Fellow roles, will not be suitable. Candidates unable to commit to the specified project durations (6 to 36 months) should also reconsider.

Working at BITS Pilani, a highly-regarded deemed university, provides significant institutional prestige. These roles offer exposure to cutting-edge projects funded by government agencies like DST and the Ministry of Mines, enhancing one's research portfolio and networking opportunities. While the positions are contract-based, the research experience gained is invaluable for future academic or industrial careers, with a clear pathway for Project Fellows to pursue higher education (PhD) within the institute.
