Jamia Millia Islamia Project Research Scientist-I (Non-Medical) Recruitment 2026 for 1 Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly specialized candidates with a strong academic background in Computer Science, IT, Engineering, or relevant postgraduate degrees (including PhD) in computational biology, bioinformatics, or pharmaceutical sciences. The ideal candidate will possess significant practical experience in AI-driven drug design, molecular modeling, drug library screening, and proficiency in tools like Python/R, DFT, WaterMap, and MD simulations. A passion for innovative breast cancer research and a desire to contribute to cutting-edge drug discovery methodologies is essential.

Individuals without the specified academic qualifications or who lack substantial hands-on experience in AI/computational drug design and molecular biology techniques will not be suitable. Candidates seeking permanent government employment should note that this is a contractual, project-specific position with a fixed duration of two years, which may be a dealbreaker. Those primarily focused on wet-lab experimental work without computational expertise will also find this role challenging.

Jamia Millia Islamia is a Central University with a strong academic and research reputation. This position is funded by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), lending significant credibility and prestige to the project. While contractual, the role offers an excellent opportunity to gain high-impact research experience in the interdisciplinary and rapidly evolving field of AI in drug discovery. It provides a platform for contributing to significant scientific advancements in breast cancer treatment and enhancing a researcher's profile for future academic, research, or industry positions, with potential for high-impact publications.
