IIT Roorkee Project Research Scientist (Non-Medical) Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly specialized post-graduates or Ph.D. holders in Microbiology, Biotechnology, or Life Sciences with a strong background in antibacterial drug discovery, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry. Candidates with expertise in cell wall catalyzing enzymes of bacteria and docking analysis will be particularly well-suited for this research-intensive, one-year project.

Individuals without a post-graduate degree in the specified fields, or those lacking the essential two years of experience in antibacterial drug discovery using chemical genetics, should not apply. Candidates seeking permanent employment or a role outside a focused research project may find this position unsuitable.

Working at IIT Roorkee offers significant prestige and exposure within academic and research circles, especially in cutting-edge biotechnological research. While a contractual project role, it provides valuable experience in a renowned institution, enhancing future career prospects in research and development, particularly for those aiming for further academic pursuits or specialized industry roles.
