National Institute of Immunology 2026 Recruitment: Project Research Scientist-I (Non-Medical) - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated and experienced postgraduate researchers holding an M.Sc./M.Tech degree in Life Sciences or Chemical Sciences. Candidates must have cleared a National Level Eligibility Test (like NET/GATE) if holding an M.Sc. degree and possess a minimum of two years of relevant research experience, especially in areas such as animal handling, cell culture, immunological techniques, protein production, and nanoparticle synthesis. It suits individuals seeking a focused, project-based contractual research opportunity at a leading institute.

This position is not suitable for fresh graduates without the mandatory two years of research experience or for M.Sc. candidates who have not qualified for a National Level Eligibility Test. Individuals looking for permanent government employment or roles with immediate long-term career progression might find this contractual position restrictive. Those not proficient in the specific experimental techniques mentioned in the desirable knowledge section may also struggle.

The National Institute of Immunology (NII) is a highly esteemed autonomous research institute in India, renowned for its cutting-edge research in immunology. A contractual research position here offers invaluable exposure to a premier scientific environment, advanced research methodologies, and potential for significant professional networking. While the role itself is fixed-term, the experience gained at NII can substantially enhance a researcher's profile and open doors to future academic or industry opportunities in high-impact scientific fields.
