Research Assistant

This role is ideal for B.Sc graduates in Life Sciences who possess practical, hands-on experience in a Microbiology Laboratory, specifically with microbial culture handling. Candidates seeking temporary, project-based research exposure within a Government of India-funded initiative at a reputable central university like North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) would find this opportunity highly suitable for gaining valuable research experience and contributing to scientific studies.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment, high fixed pay scales, or roles outside of specialized microbiology research should not apply. Those without practical laboratory experience in microbial culture handling as specified will likely not meet the essential requirements for this position. This is a single vacancy, project-specific, and temporary role.

Working under Prof. S.R. Joshi in the Department of Biotechnology & Bioinformatics at North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU), a Central University, offers good academic exposure. The project itself is funded by the Government of India, adding to its credibility and providing a solid foundation for early-career researchers. While the position is temporary and co-terminus with the project, it provides valuable research experience that can be a significant stepping stone for future academic or research careers in biotechnology and life sciences.
