NBRC Recruitment 2026: Project Research Scientist III (Non-Medical) - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified researchers holding a PhD or an integrated postgraduate degree with substantial post-qualification experience (2-5 years). Candidates should possess a strong background in molecular and cellular neuroscience, with practical experience in stem cell cultures, transcriptomics, and proteomics. It suits individuals seeking a focused, project-based research opportunity within a prestigious national institute, contributing to vital studies on viral neuropathogenesis and dengue infection.

Individuals lacking the specified advanced degrees (PhD or integrated PG with significant experience) or without the desirable technical expertise in molecular/cellular neuroscience techniques should not apply. This is a contractual position for a specific project, so candidates seeking permanent government employment may find it unsuitable. Those unable to meet the age limit of 45 years as of the deadline will also be ineligible.

The National Brain Research Centre (NBRC), a deemed university and a DBT organization, offers an excellent platform for scientific advancement. Working on an ICMR-funded project investigating viral neuropathogenesis and dengue infection provides significant exposure and contribution to public health research. While the tenure is for one year (extendable), it offers valuable specialized research experience at a national level, enhancing a researcher's profile and opening doors for future academic or research careers.
