Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB) Project-JRF Position Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates holding an M.Sc. in Organic, Pharmaceutical, or Medicinal Chemistry who have also qualified a national-level eligibility test (NET/GATE/GPAT). Crucially, applicants must possess at least one year of post-M.Sc. research experience in organic synthesis, purification, and characterization. Candidates with strong practical lab skills, equipment operation experience, and excellent interpersonal abilities are particularly well-suited for this project-based research opportunity.

Candidates lacking the mandatory M.Sc. degree or a valid NET/GATE/GPAT qualification should not apply. Those without at least one year of post-M.Sc. research experience in relevant organic chemistry synthesis and characterization techniques are also ineligible. Individuals seeking a permanent government position or long-term stable employment may find the project-limited tenure (initially one year) a dealbreaker.

The Regional Centre for Biotechnology, an autonomous institution under the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, with UNESCO auspices, offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to significant biomedical research. While the Project-JRF role is contractual and project-specific, it provides excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in drug development against mycobacterial agents, enhancing a candidate's research profile for future academic or industry roles. The prestige comes from working under a prominent Principal Investigator within a nationally recognized research institute.
