Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee Project Research Scientist -1 (Non-Medical) Recruitment 2026 | 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly accomplished researchers with Master's and PhD degrees in Microbiology, who possess a strong publication record including at least three first-authored articles in international journals. Candidates with hands-on experience in molecular biology, cloning, expression, and NGS techniques, combined with a robust understanding of research methodologies, will find this project align well with their expertise. It suits those seeking a challenging, project-based research opportunity within a prestigious academic environment.

Individuals lacking a PhD or the requisite publication record in internationally recognized journals should not apply, as these are essential qualifications. Those without practical experience in molecular biology techniques such as cloning, expression, and NGS, or those who prefer permanent government positions over contractual research roles, may find this opportunity unsuitable. The project also does not offer TA/DA for interviews, which might be a dealbreaker for some.

Working as a Project Research Scientist at IIT Roorkee, an institution of national importance, offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's research profile. While it is a contractual position for a duration of one year, the experience gained on a project sponsored by ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) focusing on cutting-edge 3D bioprinting technology can open doors to further research roles in academia or industry, both nationally and internationally. The opportunity to work under an experienced Principal Investigator provides excellent mentorship and networking potential within the scientific community.
