BRIC-National Institute of Immunology Project Research Scientist-I Recruitment 2026: One Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated scientific researchers with a postgraduate or 4-year engineering/IT/CS degree, particularly those with a PhD in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, or Biochemistry. Candidates must possess significant hands-on experience in cancer biology-related research, including techniques like ELISA, PCR, and NGS. Preference will be given to individuals skilled in SELEX and aptasensor development, demonstrating strong scientific writing and publication skills.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a time-bound contractual role for approximately one year, extendable until 2028 based on project duration. Those without specific practical laboratory experience in the listed research techniques or lacking the required postgraduate/4-year graduate degree will not be suitable. Applicants unable to provide comprehensive CVs with referee details will also be at a disadvantage.

Working at the BRIC-National Institute of Immunology (NII), a prestigious national-level research institution, offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to significant scientific projects funded by bodies like ICMR. Although a contractual position, it provides invaluable experience in a cutting-edge research environment, enhancing a scientist's profile and opening doors for future career advancements in biomedical research. The role is focused on a critical project concerning colorectal cancer diagnostics, ensuring impactful work.
