NBRC Project Research Scientist-I Recruitment 2026: One Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a Ph.D or equivalent degree, with a proven track record of research demonstrated by at least one publication in a reputed journal. Candidates should possess strong technical skills in Python/MATLAB, Linux, and have experience with neuroimaging (MRI/EEG/MEG) or real-world time series data. Those seeking a challenging, project-based research opportunity within a national neuroscience center will find this role highly suitable.

This position is not suitable for candidates who do not possess a Ph.D or equivalent degree, lack peer-reviewed research publications, or do not have the specified technical proficiencies in data analysis and neuroimaging. Individuals seeking permanent government employment with long-term job security should note that this is a project-specific, contract-based role with a tenure of one year, extendable based on performance and project validity.

The National Brain Research Centre (NBRC) is a prestigious national institute under the Department of Biotechnology, recognized as a Deemed University, offering significant exposure to advanced neuroscience research. While the role is contractual and project-specific (1 year), it provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research under Dr. Khushbu Agarwal's lab. This experience can be highly valuable for career progression in academic and research fields.
