Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB) Junior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated individuals with an M.Sc. in Biotechnology, strong academic records (60% minimum), and a valid NET/JRF qualification. Candidates with practical experience in handling yeast culture, molecular biology tools, and protein expression will be highly preferred. The position suits those seeking initial research experience in a project-based, contractual setting under a reputable government-backed institution.

Those without a qualifying M.Sc. in Biotechnology, NET/JRF qualification, or the essential 60% marks should not apply. Individuals looking for a permanent government position or lacking specific laboratory skills in yeast culture and molecular biology might find this role less suitable. The contractual nature and fixed emoluments might not appeal to those seeking long-term stability or higher pay scales.

The Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB) is a prestigious autonomous institution supported by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, and UNESCO. This position offers an excellent opportunity to gain valuable research experience under an Associate Professor in a cutting-edge biotech cluster. While contractual, it provides a strong foundation for a career in research, with potential for extension and future academic or industry opportunities within the biotechnology sector.
