ICGEB Recruitment 2026: Project Research Scientist-I (Non-Medical) Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly skilled Indian nationals holding an MSc or PhD in Life Sciences or Chemistry, who possess extensive hands-on experience with high-resolution LC-MS workflows, and advanced proficiency in analyzing untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics datasets using specialized software like MetaboAnalyst, MS-DIAL, LipidXplorer, and OpenMS. Candidates with additional ICP-MS data acquisition and analysis capabilities will be preferred. This position is perfect for research scientists passionate about contributing to cutting-edge cardiovascular disease diagnostics in a project-based, collaborative environment.

Individuals lacking a relevant MSc or PhD, or those without practical, demonstrated expertise in LC-MS and metabolomics/lipidomics data analysis using the specified software, should not apply. The position is explicitly for Indian nationals only, and those seeking permanent government employment should note this is a contractual project-based role with an initial 3-6 month term.

Working at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), an intergovernmental organization, offers significant prestige and exposure to international research standards. This ICMR-funded project provides an excellent opportunity to specialize in a high-impact area of biomedical research, enhancing technical skills and network within the scientific community. While contractual, successful performance can lead to extensions, offering valuable experience for future research careers, though long-term permanence is not guaranteed within this specific project.
