IIT Roorkee Project Research Scientist-I Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly specialized Post-Graduate or PhD holders in Bioscience/Bioengineering with specific hands-on experience in animal cell culture, hybridoma technology, or bioreactor operations. Candidates should be passionate about research, particularly in Monoclonal antibody production, and capable of independent experimental design and execution. A minimum of three years of relevant experience is essential, alongside a strong academic record.

Individuals lacking the stipulated First Class Post Graduate Degree with three years of experience OR Second Class Post Graduate with PhD/NET/GATE are not eligible. Those without specific practical experience in cell culture, hybridoma, or bioreactor operations as preferred skills will find themselves at a significant disadvantage. This is a project-based, contractual position for one year, making it unsuitable for those seeking permanent government employment immediately.

Working at IIT Roorkee, a premier national institution, offers excellent exposure to cutting-edge research environments and collaborations. While a contractual project role, it provides valuable experience for a career in academic research or specialized biotechnology fields, with a potential opportunity to enroll in the IITR PhD program if performance is satisfactory. The project's focus on therapeutic cells and B-ALL research is highly relevant and impactful.
