NIAB Project Research Scientist-1 (Non-Medical) Recruitment 2026 – 01 Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated research professionals holding a postgraduate degree in Life Sciences (or an integrated PG degree) or a four-year engineering degree in Life Sciences. Candidates must possess practical experience in molecular biology, infectious biology techniques, mouse handling, yeast work, and BSL-3 laboratory facilities. The position is perfect for those seeking to contribute to an ICMR-funded project on brucellosis vaccine development within a prestigious national institute.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should note this is a contractual position with a tenure of one year, extendable up to three years. Candidates lacking the specified academic qualifications or relevant practical research experience, particularly in the mentioned techniques and laboratory environments, will not be suitable. Those unwilling to work on a project-specific basis should also reconsider applying.

The National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (NIAB) is an autonomous body under a Central Government Ministry, signifying a strong institutional reputation in scientific research. While the position itself is contractual and project-limited, it offers invaluable experience working on an ICMR-funded project with significant public health implications. This role can serve as a stepping stone for further research careers, providing exposure to advanced biotechnological work and contributing to a vital area of animal and human health.
