National Institute of Immunology Project Associate-II Recruitment 2026 (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduates in Life Sciences, particularly those with a keen interest and preferably some experience in handling Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates. It suits individuals looking for a short-term, focused research contract (6 months) within a prestigious national institute to gain valuable hands-on experience in molecular genetics and infectious disease research.

Candidates without a Master's degree in Life Sciences or those seeking permanent employment should not apply, as this is a contractual position for a fixed duration. Applicants lacking any background or strong interest in microbiology, particularly tuberculosis research, may also find this role less suitable.

The National Institute of Immunology (NII) is a renowned autonomous institution under the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India, known for cutting-edge research. While a short-term contract, this position offers an excellent opportunity to work on a DBT-funded project, significantly enhancing one's resume and providing a solid foundation for future research careers in immunology and infectious diseases.
