Project Assistant 1

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates (M.Sc. or M. Phil.) in Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Microbiology, or Life Sciences who possess a first-class degree. Individuals with prior practical experience in cell culture studies and animal handling, and a keen interest in research, particularly those aspiring to pursue a Ph.D., will find this position highly suitable for gaining valuable research experience in a sponsored project.

Candidates seeking permanent employment or a high-paying salary should not apply, as this is a temporary, consolidated-pay position for three years. Those who do not meet the essential first-class postgraduate qualification in the specified disciplines or are above 30 years of age (as on 2026-06-30) are not suitable. Applicants unable to bear their own travel expenses for the interview should also note the 'no TA/DA' clause.

Working under the Chief Minister's Research Grant Scheme at an 'A+' NAAC accredited Annamalai University offers a credible platform for initial research experience. While the role is project-based and temporary, it provides exposure to significant research areas (Cardioprotective Potential of Nanoparticles) and a pathway for Ph.D. registration, enhancing long-term academic and research career prospects.
