Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated M.Sc. graduates in Life Sciences who possess a NET or equivalent qualification and at least two years of hands-on laboratory experience. Candidates with a strong background in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, and practical skills in cloning, protein purification, site-directed mutagenesis, and cell culture assays would be particularly well-suited. It is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to gain valuable research experience in a prestigious institution on a project basis.

Candidates lacking an M.Sc. degree in Life Sciences or without NET/equivalent qualification should not apply. Those without the mandatory two years of relevant laboratory experience or specific skills in molecular biology techniques will not meet the criteria. Individuals seeking a permanent government position or a long-term role may find the 6-month contractual duration unsuitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Immunology (NII), a premier DBT organization, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research. Although a contractual position for a limited duration, it provides an invaluable opportunity to contribute to a funded project and enhance one's research profile, which can be highly beneficial for future academic or industry careers. The experience gained here holds substantial weight in the scientific community.
