Research Associate, Project Associate & Field Assistant

This recruitment is ideally suited for highly motivated research professionals and field assistants with specialized academic backgrounds in Biotechnology, Microbiology, Life Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, or related fields. Candidates with a PhD (for Research Associate), M.Sc./M.Tech. (for Project Associate), or Bachelor's/Diploma (for Field Assistant) who possess relevant research and practical experience in areas like microbial engineering, CO2 capture, soil fertility, and agricultural field experiments should consider applying. A strong publication record for Research Associate roles is a significant advantage.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment will find these roles unsuitable as they are project-based and contractual, initially for one year. Those without specific research or practical experience in the advertised scientific domains, particularly in microbiological techniques, agricultural field trials, or data analysis within a research context, are unlikely to be successful. Lack of familiarity with modern research methodologies and scientific publication standards (for higher roles) would also be a dealbreaker.

The Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB) is an autonomous institution supported by both the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, and UNESCO, granting it significant institutional prestige. Working at RCB offers excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in climate-smart agriculture and sustainable biotechnology, making it a valuable experience for a career in academia, research & development, or specialized scientific roles both nationally and internationally. The roles provide a strong foundation for future growth in research-intensive environments.
