BRIC-National Institute of Immunology Recruitment 2026: 1 Developer (Project) Position

This role is ideally suited for highly experienced software developers and web engineers with a strong background in bioinformatics or scientific research environments. Candidates should possess a Master's/Bachelor's degree with 8 years of R&D experience, or a Doctoral/Master's degree with 4 years of R&D experience in relevant fields. Essential skills include proficiency in modern programming languages (Python, Java, Node.js, PHP), extensive experience with web portal design and development (HTML5, JavaScript/jQuery/React.js), and database management (Postgres, MS-SQL, MySQL, MongoDB). A strong inclination towards contributing to nationwide genomic sequencing projects and working within a LINUX environment is crucial.

Fresh graduates or candidates with less than 4-8 years of relevant R&D experience should not apply, as substantial prior experience is mandatory. Individuals lacking proficiency in the specified programming languages, web frameworks, and database technologies will find this role challenging. Those seeking permanent government employment may also find this contractual, project-based position (tenable till Oct 2026) unsuitable. Lack of highlighted research experience in the CV will lead to rejection.

The National Institute of Immunology (NII) is a prestigious autonomous institution under the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, known for its cutting-edge research. This contractual position offers a unique opportunity to work on the 'Whole Genome Sequencing of MTB Clinical Strains for Determining Drug Resistance and Strain lineage in India' project, a critical nationwide initiative funded by DBT. While project-bound, it provides invaluable experience in high-impact scientific research, advanced bioinformatics, and public health, significantly enhancing a candidate's profile for future roles in research, academia, or specialized tech development.
