National Brain Research Centre (NBRC) Research Scientist I/II/III Recruitment 2026 - One Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a PhD in Life Sciences with a first-class MSc, specifically those possessing hands-on research experience in physiology and cell biology. Candidates skilled in advanced lab techniques like cell culture, CRISPR, and mice handling, and who are enthusiastic about project-based research in neuroendocrine studies, will find this position a strong fit. A first-author publication, while not essential, would significantly strengthen an application.

Candidates without a PhD in Life Sciences or who do not meet the first-class MSc requirement should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles with clearly defined career progression paths beyond a project's tenure may find this contractual, project-dependent position unsuitable. Individuals lacking practical lab experience in the specified areas would also be at a disadvantage.

The National Brain Research Centre (NBRC), as a Deemed University under the DBT, is a prestigious institution for neuroscience research in India. A position here, even contractual, offers significant exposure to cutting-edge research and strengthens a researcher's profile. While the tenure is project-limited, it provides valuable specialized experience within a national-level research framework, enhancing future career prospects in academia or research. The opportunity to work on a specific, impactful project led by an experienced investigator adds to the professional development potential.
