Senior Research Fellow & Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates (M.Sc./M.Tech. in Life Sciences) with a strong academic record, particularly those who have cleared NET/GATE. Individuals possessing hands-on laboratory experience in cell culture, molecular biology techniques (RNA isolation, PCR, western blotting), and microbiology are well-suited. Candidates with prior research project experience, especially a 6-month dissertation, and data analytics skills will be highly considered.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a time-bound contractual project position. Those lacking the specified postgraduate qualifications, NET/GATE clearance (for M.Sc. JRF candidates), or the required research experience for the SRF position will not be suitable. Candidates without practical laboratory skills relevant to molecular biology and microbiology should also reconsider.

Working at the National Institute of Immunology (NII), a prestigious autonomous research institute under the DBT, offers invaluable experience in cutting-edge research. While the position is contractual and project-based, it provides significant exposure to advanced scientific techniques and can serve as a strong foundation for a career in academic research, biotechnology, or related fields. The experience gained here will enhance future career prospects significantly within the scientific community.
