Senior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly specialized candidates with an M.Sc/M.Tech in Life Sciences or related fields, who have qualified NET (GATE/CSIR/UGC) and possess at least two years of hands-on laboratory research experience. Expertise in cell culture, molecular biology techniques (RNA isolation, qPCR, western blotting), and animal handling is crucial. Candidates with data analytics skills (RNA-seq, metabolomics) are particularly well-suited for this short-term, focused project on novel anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents.

Individuals without a Master's degree (M.Sc/M.Tech) in the specified life science disciplines or lacking NET qualification are ineligible. Candidates without a minimum of two years of practical laboratory research experience, particularly in molecular biology and animal handling, will not be considered. This six-month contract position is not suitable for those seeking permanent employment or long-term career stability at this institution.

The National Institute of Immunology (NII) is a reputable, central government-backed research organization under the DBT, offering a chance to contribute to advanced biomedical research. While this is a short-term, project-based contractual role, it provides valuable experience in a prestigious scientific environment, enhancing research credentials and networking opportunities. It can serve as a stepping stone for future academic or research careers, particularly within the life sciences and biotechnology sectors.
