NIAB Recruitment 2026: 2 Contractual Posts for Junior & Senior Technical Officers

This role is ideal for candidates with a strong academic background in life sciences, holding a 4-year Bachelor's degree (like BVSc, B. Pharma) or a Master's degree. Aspiring Junior Technical Officers should possess knowledge of biologics quality testing and lab techniques, with at least one year of relevant experience preferred. Senior Technical Officers must have a similar educational background, explicitly requiring two years of research experience in areas such as biologics testing, handling biological cultures, and DNA/RNA work. Individuals seeking a contractual position within a cutting-edge government research environment, particularly focused on animal biotechnology and vaccine testing, will find these roles highly suitable.

Candidates who do not possess the specified degrees in life sciences (including BVSc or B. Pharma) or a Master's in Life Sciences should not apply. Those lacking practical experience in biologics quality testing, handling biological cultures, or DNA/RNA work will face significant challenges, especially for the Senior Technical Officer role, which mandates two years of research experience. Individuals uncomfortable with a 1-year contractual employment duration (albeit with renewal possibility) may also find these positions unsuitable.

NIAB, as an autonomous institute under the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India, offers a reputable and stable platform for scientific and technical professionals. Employment within the Vaccine Testing Facility provides critical exposure to public health-related biotechnological research. While the positions are contractual, the potential for annual renewal and involvement in significant research projects offers valuable career progression within the national biotechnological research sector and central government organizations.
