Project Associate I

This role is ideal for Master's degree holders in Natural or Agricultural Sciences with a strong interest and potential preference for practical experience in plant tissue culture aseptic techniques, including micropropagation and plant maintenance. It suits individuals seeking short-term, project-based research exposure within a prestigious national institution to enhance their scientific skill set.

This position is strictly temporary and contractual, initially for a six-month period, making it unsuitable for candidates seeking long-term, permanent government employment or absorption into the institute. Those unwilling to work at the satellite station in Kudal, Maharashtra, or who lack any foundational knowledge/experience in plant tissue culture, may find this role challenging due to the specific job requirements.

Working as a Project Associate-I at IISER Pune, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant prestige and exposure to high-quality research environments. While the role is project-specific and doesn't guarantee permanent absorption, it provides valuable experience in cutting-edge scientific fields, which can be highly beneficial for future academic or research careers. The project's focus on medicinal plant propagation also offers a niche and impactful research opportunity.
