BRIC-National Institute of Immunology Walk-in-Interview 2026 for Research Associate-I (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified PhD holders in Biological Sciences with a strong publication record in JCR-listed journals. The ideal candidate should possess practical experience in BSL3 virology, molecular biology, multi-parameter flow cytometry, and influenza biology. Expertise in OMICS techniques would be a significant advantage. This position is perfect for researchers looking to contribute to a cutting-edge project on influenza vaccine innovation within a prestigious national institute for a defined short-term period.

Candidates without a PhD in Biological Sciences or lacking a research publication in a standard refereed journal (JCR-listed) should not apply. Individuals seeking a permanent or long-term employment opportunity will find this 6-month contractual position unsuitable. Those without specific laboratory experience relevant to virology, immunology, or molecular biology, particularly in a BSL3 environment, may also find this role challenging.

Working at the BRIC-NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF IMMUNOLOGY offers significant prestige within the scientific community. As an autonomous institution under DBT, NII provides an excellent platform for advanced research. While this specific role is a 6-month contractual engagement, it offers valuable, high-impact experience in influenza vaccine innovation, funded by DBT. This experience can serve as a strong foundation for future research positions, particularly within immunology, virology, and biotechnology sectors, enhancing one's professional profile considerably.
