Project Technician & Project Scientist

This opportunity is ideal for dedicated research professionals, particularly those with a background in molecular biology, cell biology, or biotechnology. Project Technicians should possess a Bachelor's degree with practical molecular biology skills and basic computer proficiency. Project Scientists require a PhD in a related field with extensive hands-on experience in mammalian cell culture, animal models, and advanced molecular techniques relevant to diabetes or cancer research. Both roles are well-suited for individuals seeking short-term contractual research engagements within a prestigious academic institution.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment will find this unsuitable as both positions are contractual for 11 months. Individuals without specific hands-on laboratory experience in the stated molecular and cell biology techniques, or those lacking the required academic degrees, should not apply. Furthermore, applicants expecting accommodation or travel allowances for the interview will be disappointed as these are not provided.

Working with IIT Guwahati, a premier Indian Institute of Technology, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research in a specialized area of Type-I Diabetes treatment strategy. While the roles are contractual, the experience gained from such a project at a top-tier institution can be highly beneficial for future academic or industry research careers. Long-term growth directly within these specific project roles is limited by the 11-month duration, but the institutional affiliation and research experience provide a strong foundation.
