Sambalpur University 2026 Walk-in Interview for Project Assistant (1 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates holding an M.Sc. in Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, Life Sciences, or allied subjects, with a minimum of 55% marks. Preference will be given to those with practical experience in machine learning. It suits individuals seeking a temporary research position to gain valuable experience in a specific project under an extramural grant.

Candidates looking for a permanent government position or long-term career stability should not apply, as this is a temporary, project-based role with a fixed tenure of 22 months. Those who do not meet the essential M.Sc. qualification or are unable to attend the walk-in interview at their own expense will also find this unsuitable.

Sambalpur University is a reputable state university, offering a recognized academic environment. This Project Assistant role, while temporary, provides valuable research experience and exposure to a specific project ('Machine learning framework for the rational design of efficient donor/acceptor pairs in organic solar cells'). It's an excellent opportunity for early-career researchers to build their portfolio, though it does not offer inherent long-term career progression within this specific post.
