Project Associate

This role is ideal for highly qualified researchers holding a Ph.D., M.Phil., or M.Sc. in relevant life sciences (Botany, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Biological Sciences) with a strong academic background, including having cleared national-level examinations like CSIR/UGC. Candidates with a proven track record in research, peer-reviewed publications, and a keen interest in interdisciplinary work related to breast cancer therapeutics are particularly well-suited.

Candidates without a strong background in the specified biological or life sciences, or those who have not cleared national-level examinations, should not apply. Individuals lacking research experience, especially in extraction, screening, and evaluation of bioactive compounds, may find themselves at a disadvantage for this specialized research project. This is a single, project-based post for a fixed duration of three years, so those seeking permanent government employment should consider other options.

Bharathiar University is a highly-ranked State University (A++ Grade by NAAC, 15th Rank by MoE-NIRF), offering a reputable institutional setting. This project, funded by the Government of India under Chief Minister's Research Grant, provides significant exposure and collaboration opportunities with institutions like Agharkar Research Institute, Pune. While a contractual role, it offers valuable research experience and publication potential in a specialized field (breast cancer therapeutics), enhancing long-term career prospects in academia or research.
