IISER Tirupati JRF/Project Associate Recruitment 2026

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates with a Master's degree in Biology, Physics, or a related field. Those with a strong academic record and a keen interest in biological research, particularly in molecular and cellular biology techniques (PCR, cloning, qRT-PCR) and experience with model organisms like Drosophila, will find this opportunity particularly fitting. It's suitable for individuals seeking project-based, temporary research experience within a prestigious academic institution.

Candidates looking for permanent government employment or those without a Master's degree in the specified fields should not apply. Individuals exceeding the age of 30 years as of the application deadline are also ineligible. This position is not suitable for those who prefer long-term, stable employment beyond the project's tenure, as it is purely temporary and co-terminus with the project.

IISER Tirupati is a premier autonomous institution under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, offering excellent exposure to high-quality science education and research. While the position is contractual, it provides valuable experience in a well-funded ISRO-LEOS project, enhancing research credentials. It also offers a potential pathway to a regular PhD program at IISER Tirupati, making it a good stepping stone for an academic or research career.
