Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak: Research Assistant Recruitment 2026 (01 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly motivated Ph.D. or NET/equivalent qualified post-graduates in Life Sciences, particularly those with a background in Microbiology, who are seeking short-term research engagement. Candidates passionate about sustainable waste management and microbial studies, with a commitment to project-based work, would find this position a good fit to gain practical experience in a university research environment.

Individuals seeking long-term, permanent employment should not apply, as this is a contractual position for a maximum of 8 months. Candidates without the specified Ph.D. or NET/equivalent qualification in Life Sciences, or those requiring a high salary package, may find this role unsuitable given the fixed honorarium and temporary nature. No TA/DA will be provided for the interview, which might be a barrier for outstation candidates.

Maharshi Dayanand University is an 'A+' Grade NAAC-accredited State University, offering a reputable academic environment. While the Research Assistant position is contractual and project-specific (Microbial Consortia Development for Sustainable Floral Waste Management), it provides valuable experience in a niche research area. This can enhance a researcher's profile for future academic or industry roles, particularly within environmental microbiology and waste management fields. The role, though temporary, offers an opportunity to work on a relevant and impactful project under experienced faculty.
