Ideal for PhD or experienced Postgraduates in Biotechnology/Biochemistry with hands-on expertise in advanced molecular biology techniques like iPSC culture, CRISPR/Cas9, and genome editing. Candidates with a strong publication record and seeking a high-impact, short-term research project will find this role rewarding.

Important Considerations

This is not for freshers. Applicants without the mandatory three years of specific lab experience (for PG candidates) or relevant PhD experience in stem cell culture and gene editing should not apply. The role is temporary and based in Thiruvananthapuram, which may not suit those seeking permanent positions or relocation flexibility.

Career Impact

Working at SCTIMST, an 'Institution of National Importance,' offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research under a nationally funded (ICMR) project. While the role is contractual, the experience gained can be a significant stepping stone for a career in academic or industrial research, enhancing future prospects.
