Panjab University 2026: Junior Research Fellow Recruitment for 01 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated candidates holding a four-year Bachelor's or Master's Degree (with at least 60% marks) in Zoology/Life Sciences. Preference will be given to NET/GATE qualified individuals. The position is particularly suitable for those with practical experience in advanced laboratory techniques such as PCR, qPCR, cell culture, ELISA, GC-MS, animal handling, flow cytometry, and various immunological assays, who are looking to gain project-based research experience in a specific field.

Candidates who do not possess the required academic qualifications (Bachelor's or Master's in Zoology/Life Sciences) should not apply. Those lacking relevant practical laboratory experience, particularly in the specified techniques, may find themselves at a disadvantage. Given this is a single, contractual (one-year, co-terminus with project) position, it is not suitable for individuals seeking permanent government employment or a role with immediate long-term job security.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at Panjab University, a reputable and long-standing institution, offers significant prestige and valuable research exposure. This project, focused on 'Role of Short-Chain Fatty Acids in Immune Regulation and Pathogenesis of Vitiligo,' provides a niche but impactful area of research. While the position itself is contractual, the experience gained under Dr. Ravinder Kumar can be an excellent stepping stone for further academic pursuits or a research career, enhancing one's profile significantly in the scientific community.
