Project Associate I

This role is ideal for fresh M.Sc. or B.Tech graduates (Life sciences, Biotechnology, Bioengineering, Chemistry) with a strong academic record (minimum 70% marks). Candidates with prior research experience in Drosophila genetics/genomics, those who have qualified national exams like CSIR-NET/GATE/DBT-JRF, or possess a basic degree in Biochemistry/Genetics, will be highly preferred. The position suits individuals passionate about research in metabolic serine hydrolases.

Candidates seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is purely temporary and contractual, tied to a specific funded project with no claim for absorption into IISER Pune. Individuals without the specified educational qualifications or minimum marks will also find this unsuitable, as will those exceeding the age of 30 without relevant relaxations.

IISER Pune is an Institute of National Importance, offering a prestigious research environment. While the position is temporary, it provides invaluable experience in cutting-edge scientific research and can be a strong foundation for future academic or research careers. Career growth is project-dependent but the institutional reputation is high, offering excellent exposure.
