Project Technical Support III

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates (MSc/MS/MTech) in Biotechnology, Microbiology, or Biochemistry with a strong academic record (GATE/CSIR-JRF/National level exam qualified). Candidates with practical hands-on experience in molecular biology and microbiology techniques, who are seeking short-term research-oriented positions in a prestigious institution, will find this opportunity suitable. It is particularly attractive for those looking to contribute to cutting-edge research on host-virus interactions.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a project-based contractual position for a maximum of three years. Candidates without the specified postgraduate qualifications or the required national level exam scores (GATE/CSIR-JRF) will not be considered. Those without specific hands-on laboratory experience in molecular biology and microbiology techniques may also find it challenging. The consolidated salary is fixed, and long-term career progression within this specific role is limited.

Working at an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) offers significant academic prestige and exposure to a high-caliber research environment. While the position itself is contractual, it provides valuable research experience that can enhance future career prospects in academia or research institutions. The project, funded by ICMR, indicates a focus on relevant and impactful scientific inquiry. This role is excellent for gaining research credibility and networking within the scientific community.
