Junior Research Fellow & Project Associate I

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates with an M.Sc in Chemistry (or equivalent) who are passionate about research in synthetic organic chemistry. Preference will be given to those with a first-class Master's degree, a valid national-level qualifying examination (CSIR/UGC-NET, GATE, INSPIRE), and prior research experience. Individuals seeking temporary, project-based research exposure in a prestigious institution with potential for future PhD enrollment should consider applying.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment will find this role unsuitable, as it is purely contractual and co-terminus with the project. Those lacking the specified M.Sc qualification in Chemistry or related fields, or applicants primarily interested in administrative or non-research roles, should not apply. Individuals above 30 years of age (as of the closing date) without age relaxations, or those unable to commit to immediate joining upon offer, should also note the limitations.

IISER Tirupati is an Institution of National Importance, providing a strong academic and research environment under the Ministry of Education. While this specific position is temporary, it offers excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in the healthcare sector and provides a valuable stepping stone for aspiring researchers. Successful candidates may also be considered for the regular PhD program at IISER Tirupati, offering a pathway for long-term academic growth within a highly reputed institution.
