IIT Delhi Project Scientist Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy for Tuberculosis Research Project

This role is most suitable for highly motivated individuals holding an M.Sc. in Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biotechnology, or Genetics with a first-class academic record. Ideal candidates will also possess a minimum of two years of dedicated research experience in tuberculosis (TB) and must have qualified NET or GATE. This project-based position offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to significant research at a premier institution.

Candidates lacking a first-class M.Sc. degree in the specified disciplines, without NET/GATE qualification, or those who do not possess the required two years of specific research experience in tuberculosis (TB) should not apply. Additionally, current employees of IIT Delhi/IRD must ensure their application is properly forwarded through official channels; failure to do so will result in not being interviewed.

Working as a Project Scientist at IIT Delhi, even in a contractual capacity within the Industrial Research & Development Unit, offers significant institutional prestige and an excellent platform for scientific contributions. While it's a project-specific role with a defined duration (until 2029), it provides invaluable experience in advanced research settings, enhancing future career prospects in academia or research. The focus on tuberculosis research offers a chance to make a societal impact.
