Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated postgraduate candidates (M.Sc./M.V.Sc./M.Tech. or equivalent) in Life Sciences or related disciplines who have cleared a National Eligibility Test (NET/GATE). Candidates with at least 6 months of prior research experience in a biomedical laboratory, especially with skills in molecular biology techniques, animal experimentation, and data analysis, and a keen interest in metabolic/cancer biology, would be a strong fit for this contract-based research project.

Individuals who do not possess a NET/GATE qualification or the specified postgraduate degree will not be eligible. This position is purely contractual for a specific project duration, so those seeking permanent government employment should not apply. Candidates without any research experience or a strong aptitude for scientific research may find this role challenging.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at JIPMER, a central government medical institution of national importance, offers significant prestige and excellent exposure for a career in biomedical research. This externally funded project provides an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research and build a strong scientific profile, though it is not a permanent position.
