Senior Research Fellow

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated researchers holding an M.Sc./M.Tech in Life Sciences or Chemical Sciences, coupled with a mandatory NET/GATE qualification (for M.Sc. candidates) and a minimum of two years of research experience. Candidates with hands-on expertise in molecular biology, cell biology, protein biochemistry, structural biology, or animal handling will be highly preferred. It's an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking project-based contractual research positions within a premier national immunology institute.

Candidates who do not possess the essential qualification of M.Sc./M.Tech with the required NET/GATE for M.Sc. holders, or lack the mandatory two years of research experience, should not apply. Individuals primarily seeking permanent government employment will find this contractual, time-bound position unsuitable.

The National Institute of Immunology (NII) is a highly prestigious central government research institution under the Department of Biotechnology (DBT). This project, focusing on SARS-CoV-2 proteins, offers invaluable exposure to cutting-edge research and strengthens one's profile for future academic and research endeavors. While the position is contractual, working at NII significantly enhances a researcher's credentials within the scientific community.
