Project Assistant

This role is ideal for fresh graduates or early-career professionals holding a First Class B.Sc. or B.Tech degree in microbiology, biotechnology, or chemical engineering. Candidates with a First Class M.Sc. in similar fields and demonstrable experience in anaerobic microbiology or specific bioenergy production processes will have a significant advantage, particularly those looking for project-based research experience in a government institute.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a temporary and purely contractual role. Candidates who do not meet the essential First Class degree requirement in the specified fields or are unable to apply online by the deadline will be ineligible. Those over 50 years of age (as of August 5, 2026), without applicable age relaxation, are also advised not to apply.

Working at MACS - Agharkar Research Institute, an autonomous body under the Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India, offers a good opportunity to gain experience in a reputable research environment. While the position is temporary and project-based, it provides valuable exposure to cutting-edge bioenergy research, enhancing one's CV for future academic or industry roles in microbiology and biotechnology.
