Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati JRF (GATE) Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated and skilled candidates holding a BE/B.Tech, ME/M.Tech, or MSc in life sciences or biotechnology, specifically those with a strong background in Molecular biology/Biochemistry. Applicants must be NET/GATE qualified and possess at least two years of dedicated research experience. Proficiency in bioinformatics, cloning, protein expression & purification, and standard molecular biology techniques is crucial for success in this project-based role.

Candidates lacking the mandatory two years of research experience in Molecular biology/Biochemistry or those who are not qualified in NET/GATE (or equivalent national eligibility test) should not apply. Individuals seeking a permanent government position or long-term employment may find the six-month contractual duration (co-terminus with the project) unsuitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) at IIT Guwahati, a renowned institution, offers excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in a prestigious academic environment. While the position is contractual and project-bound, it provides valuable research experience that can significantly enhance a candidate's profile for future academic or research careers in specialized fields like CRISPR-Cas systems. This is an opportunity to contribute to a specific, high-impact research project.
