Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for recent M.Sc/M.Tech graduates in Biotechnology, Life Sciences, or related fields with hands-on experience in enzymology/molecular biology techniques. Candidates with GATE/NET qualifications and specific experience in molecular biology, enzyme kinetics, genome engineering, or metabolic engineering are highly preferred. It suits individuals seeking to gain valuable research experience in a government and industrially-funded project setting within an international research organization.

Individuals lacking the specified postgraduate qualifications (M.Sc/M.Tech) or essential laboratory experience in molecular biology techniques should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles with clearly defined pay scales may find this temporary, project-based fellowship unsuitable. Candidates expecting a long-term, stable career path without project-based tenure should also reconsider.

ICGEB is an International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, offering a highly prestigious research environment. While the positions are temporary, they provide excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in microbial engineering under a reputable principal investigator. This role offers significant opportunities for scientific skill development and networking, enhancing future academic or industry prospects in biotechnology.
