IISER Pune Recruitment 2026: 1 Project Assistant Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for candidates holding an M.Sc. or B.Tech in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Bioengineering, or related fields, who possess a strong interest and willingness for extensive fieldwork, particularly in plant ecology. It's a great opportunity for early-career researchers seeking hands-on project experience in a premier scientific institution.

Individuals unwilling to commit to prolonged fieldwork in challenging conditions or those seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a temporary and contractual role. Candidates expecting a large number of vacancies should note this advertisement is for a single position.

IISER Pune is an Institute of National Importance, providing a valuable platform for research exposure. While the Project Assistant role is temporary and project-specific, it offers significant experience in basic sciences and ecology, enhancing future career prospects in research and academia. Association with the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) further validates the project's scientific relevance.
