RCB Project Associate II Recruitment 2026 (1 Post)

This role is ideal for highly motivated M.Sc. graduates in life sciences who have successfully cleared national-level eligibility tests like NET/DBT-JRF/GATE. Candidates with at least two years of hands-on R&D experience in academic or industrial settings, particularly with skills in gene cloning, protein purification, or cryo-electron microscopy, will find this a valuable opportunity to contribute to significant anti-tuberculosis research.

Individuals without an M.Sc. in life sciences, or those who have not cleared NET/DBT-JRF/GATE (or equivalent), are not eligible. The mandatory two years of R&D experience is also a strict requirement. This position is contractual for one year, making it unsuitable for candidates seeking permanent government employment.

The Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB) is an autonomous institution supported by UNESCO and the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India, known for its cutting-edge research. This Project Associate II position offers a unique opportunity to work on a critical project exploring anti-tuberculosis drug targets, providing excellent exposure to advanced research methodologies and contributing to a significant public health challenge. While initially contractual, such roles are crucial for career progression in scientific research.
