NIPER Ahmedabad Junior Research Fellow (Project Associate - 1) Recruitment 2026 - 01 Vacancy

This role is most suitable for highly motivated individuals holding a Bachelor's (4-year) or Master's degree in Natural/Agricultural Sciences, BVSc, B.Pharm, B.Tech, or Medicine. Candidates with demonstrable practical experience in mammalian cell culture, molecular biology techniques (qPCR, Western blotting, immunostaining), and extracellular vesicle isolation/characterization are ideal. Furthermore, those proficient in rodent handling, neurobiology models, data analysis, and scientific writing, especially with NET/GATE qualifications for a higher stipend, will find this a valuable opportunity to contribute to specialized neuroscience research.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-specific position co-terminus with the project, initially for one year with potential extensions. Candidates lacking a strong foundation in the specified biological/pharmaceutical science disciplines or the required technical laboratory skills in molecular biology and cell culture may struggle with the role's demands.

Working at a National Institute like NIPER Ahmedabad provides significant academic and research prestige. This project offers specialized exposure to cutting-edge research in axonal regeneration and spinal cord injury, which can be highly beneficial for a career in neuroscience or pharmaceutical research. While the role is temporary, the experience gained will be valuable for future academic or industry positions in specialized research domains.
