SCTIMST Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy for Project Research Scientist I (Non-Medical)

This role is ideally suited for individuals holding an M.Sc (Biotechnology/Biochemistry, First Class) or Integrated M.Sc degree, with practical research experience in areas like mammalian cell culture, molecular biology, tissue engineering, animal experimentation, and 3D bioprinting. Candidates with a PhD in relevant fields are highly desirable. The position is perfect for dedicated researchers eager to contribute to an ICMR-funded project focused on innovative liver construct development.

Candidates without the specified M.Sc qualification or relevant laboratory research experience should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this unsuitable, as it is a contractual, project-based role with a fixed initial duration (extendable up to 24.02.2028). The single vacancy also means high competition.

Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) is an Institution of National Importance under the Government of India, lending significant prestige to any research experience gained here. While this is a project-based contract, it offers valuable exposure to advanced biomedical research and technology, enhancing a researcher's profile for future academic or industry roles, particularly within the government's scientific establishments.
