Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated postgraduate candidates holding an M.Sc. or M.Tech. in Biotechnology, Microbiology, Biochemical Engineering, or related fields, with a valid GATE, CSIR UGC NET, or DBT-BET qualification. Individuals with a keen interest in microalgae-based CO2 capture and utilization research, seeking to gain valuable project experience and potentially pursue a Ph.D. at a prestigious institution like MNNIT, will find this opportunity particularly beneficial.

Candidates lacking the specified essential postgraduate qualifications and mandatory national-level eligibility exams (GATE/NET/DBT-BET) should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles outside of temporary, contract-based research, especially in this specific niche of CO2 capture and utilization, will find this position unsuitable.

Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) Allahabad is a highly reputed Central Government institute, offering excellent research facilities and academic environment. This project, funded by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), provides significant exposure to cutting-edge research in a critical environmental area. While the position is temporary and project-specific, it offers a strong foundation for an academic or research career, including the potential for Ph.D. enrollment, thus enhancing long-term professional growth and institutional reputation.
