Indian Institute of Engineering Science & Technology (IIEST) Shibpur Recruitment 2026: 1 Research Associate - I Vacancy

This role is most suitable for highly qualified researchers holding a PhD in Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Biophysics, Materials Science, Bioengineering, Nanotechnology, Chemical Engineering, or Electronics Engineering with specializations in sensor devices or microelectronics. Candidates with hands-on experience in electrochemical/electronic biochemical sensor development, materials synthesis, or molecular biology techniques for receptor development are particularly well-suited.

Individuals without a PhD in the specified disciplines or those seeking permanent employment should not apply, as this is a contractual project-based position for a duration of one year. A lack of relevant research experience, though desirable rather than essential, could also be a significant disadvantage for prospective applicants.

Working on an IIT Delhi-sponsored project at a prestigious institution like IIEST Shibpur offers considerable academic recognition and networking opportunities within advanced research circles. Although a temporary, one-year contract, it provides invaluable experience in a cutting-edge field (AI-assisted liquid biopsy), which can significantly bolster future career prospects in research, academia, or industry.
