Project Assistant

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduates with an M.Sc. in Life Science, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Agriculture, M.Tech., or M.Pharm. Candidates should possess strong scientific acumen, administrative skills, and a keen interest in research support and project management. While not mandatory, experience in research or industry, particularly in handling projects and scientific writing, is highly desirable.

Individuals seeking permanent employment or roles with significant career progression within the government structure should not apply, as this is a contractual and temporary position (up to 3 years) with no right to regularization. Those without the specified postgraduate qualifications will not be considered. The fixed salary of ₹25,000 per month may also be a dealbreaker for candidates expecting a higher pay scale.

Kannur University is a state university, and the BIRAC E-YUVA Centre operates under its aegis, offering a credible academic environment. This contractual position provides valuable research and project management experience, particularly for fresh postgraduates looking to gain initial exposure in the biotech/life science sector. While direct long-term career progression within the university is not guaranteed due to the temporary nature, it can serve as a strong stepping stone for future research or industry roles.
