Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IIT Hyderabad) Project Manager Recruitment 2026: One Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates with a strong academic background (M.Tech, M.Sc., M.Pharm, BS-MS, B.Tech, or B.E. with CGPA>7) in life sciences or biotechnology. Candidates must possess at least one year of research experience, specifically in areas like mental health (bipolar disorder), circadian biology, clinical human subjects projects, mass-spectrometry-based metabolomics, or molecular biology techniques. The position is well-suited for individuals seeking temporary, project-based research experience in a prestigious academic environment.

Individuals without a master's or bachelor's degree in the specified disciplines (life sciences/biotechnology) or lacking the minimum CGPA of 7 should not apply. Those without prior research experience, particularly in the outlined domains, will be at a significant disadvantage, as preference is given to experienced candidates. Applicants seeking permanent government employment or a role with extensive long-term stability should also reconsider, as this is a temporary, 11-month contractual position.

Working at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) offers a high degree of institutional prestige, providing excellent exposure to cutting-edge research and academic rigor. While this specific role is temporary and project-based, it can serve as a valuable stepping stone for a career in research, academia, or advanced studies. The experience gained in a Wellcome Trust project at IIT Hyderabad would significantly enhance a candidate's profile for future research and scientific endeavors.
