NORTH EASTERN HILL UNIVERSITY Recruitment 2026: Project Research Scientist I (Non-Medical) - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for junior research professionals holding an M.Sc. in Zoology, Biochemistry, or Biotechnology with strong academic records (minimum 55% marks). Candidates with NET/GATE qualifications and practical experience in molecular biology techniques such as protein expression, purification, and cell culture will be highly regarded. It suits those looking for a two-year contractual research opportunity funded by ICMR within a university setting.

Individuals seeking permanent employment, direct government positions, or roles outside of a specific research project environment should not apply. Those without the specified M.Sc. qualification or who exceed the age limit of 27 years (as on March 3, 2026, without applicable relaxation) will not be considered. The role is limited to one position, making it highly competitive.

Working on an ICMR-sponsored 'First-In-World Project Challenge' at a Central University like North Eastern Hill University offers significant research experience and prestige within the scientific community. While a contractual position, it provides valuable exposure to cutting-edge research, enhancing future academic and research career prospects, particularly for those aiming for further doctoral or postdoctoral studies.
