Project Associate I

Highly motivated candidates with M.Sc./B.Tech in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Bioengineering, or Chemistry (minimum 70% marks) who possess hands-on laboratory experience in specialized fields such as yeast genetics, molecular/cell biology, neurobiology, or gene editing. Candidates with valid NET/GATE/GPAT qualifications and prior experience in independent projects and Master's thesis work in relevant wet-lab settings are particularly well-suited.

Individuals without a strong foundation in relevant life sciences/engineering disciplines with a minimum of 70% marks should not apply. Candidates lacking practical wet-lab experience, especially in the specific techniques mentioned for each post (e.g., mouse handling, yeast genetics, cell culture), or those seeking permanent government employment, will find this contractual, temporary role unsuitable.

Joining IISER Pune, an Institute of National Importance, offers a prestigious opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in basic sciences. While the roles are temporary and contractual (initially for 6 months), they provide invaluable hands-on research experience and networking opportunities within a top-tier scientific institution, which can significantly boost future academic or research careers.
