Research Associate

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a Doctoral Degree (PhD) in Biotechnology, Microbiology, or Life Sciences who are keen on engaging in specific, project-based research. Candidates should be self-driven, capable of working independently on ethno-microbiology research, and comfortable with a temporary, project-limited engagement.

Candidates seeking a permanent government position or long-term career stability should not apply, as this is a purely temporary and co-terminus project-based role. Individuals without a Doctoral Degree in the specified fields are also not eligible. Those looking for roles with a fixed pay scale rather than a stipend based on funding agency norms might find this role unsuitable.

Working as a Research Associate at a Central University like North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) offers valuable research experience and academic exposure. While the position is temporary, it provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to a specialized research project funded by the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India, which can significantly enhance a researcher's profile for future academic or research roles.
