Mizoram University Senior Project Associate Recruitment 2026: One Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified and experienced researchers holding a Master's degree in Biological Sciences with at least four years of relevant R&D experience post-graduation, or a PhD in a related field. Candidates with a proven track record of published research and experience in microbial, biochemical, and gene-based characterization of microbes involved in fermented products will be highly preferred. The position suits individuals looking for a temporary, project-specific research engagement within a central university environment.

Individuals seeking permanent employment, direct government benefits, or those without the specified advanced degree (Master's/PhD in Biological Sciences) and significant R&D experience (minimum 4 years post-PG for SPA) should not apply. Those unwilling to contribute to research publications or committed to the temporary nature of the project will find this role unsuitable. Candidates who cannot commit to an engagement period potentially up to December 2028 should also reconsider.

Working at Mizoram University, a Central University, provides a strong academic and research platform. This project, sponsored by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), offers an opportunity to contribute to significant research on traditional food products, enhancing a researcher's portfolio and national scientific contribution. While temporary, it offers valuable experience and potential for publications, which can boost future career prospects in academia or research.
