IISER Pune Post-Doctoral Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated Ph.D. holders in Life Sciences or Biological Sciences with a strong background and mandatory experience in LC-MS based proteomics, including sample preparation, instrument handling, and data analysis. Candidates with additional experience in mammalian tissue culture, molecular biology, biochemical assays, and peer-reviewed publications showcasing their expertise are particularly well-suited. The position demands a proactive individual eager to contribute to project-funded research on a temporary and contractual basis.

Individuals without a Ph.D. in the specified fields or lacking mandatory hands-on experience in LC-MS based proteomics should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or absorption into IISER Pune should be aware that this is a purely temporary, project-funded contract role. Candidates over 35 years of age (as on 20.02.2026) without exceptional qualifications/experience for age relaxation will not be eligible. Those unable to attend the walk-in interview on the specified date and time will also be excluded.

Working at IISER Pune, an Institute of National Importance, offers a significant boost to a researcher's profile and provides exposure to cutting-edge research in basic sciences. While the position is contractual and project-specific, it offers valuable experience in advanced proteomics techniques and data analysis within a prestigious academic and research environment. It's an excellent opportunity for post-doctoral researchers aiming to strengthen their publication record and research portfolio in a highly specialized field, enhancing prospects for future academic or industry roles.
