Senior Research Fellow & Srf

This role is ideal for dedicated research professionals holding a Post Graduate or Professional Degree in Life or allied sciences, who have qualified through prestigious national eligibility tests like CSIR-UGC NET or GATE. Crucially, candidates must possess a minimum of 2 years of relevant research experience, with a preference for those skilled in molecular biology and biophysical techniques. This is a project-specific, temporary position, well-suited for individuals looking to contribute to cutting-edge research in bio-nanoreactors.

Candidates lacking a Post Graduate or Professional Degree in the specified fields, or those without the mandatory 2 years of research experience, should not apply. Additionally, applicants who have not qualified through national eligibility tests (NET/GATE) or equivalent selection processes as outlined in the notification will not meet the essential criteria. Individuals seeking a permanent government position or those exceeding the age of 32 years (without valid government-mandated relaxations) will find this role unsuitable.

Working at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, offers significant academic and research prestige. The project is funded by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), adding to its scientific credibility. While the position is contractual and temporary (initially for one year, extendable up to three), it provides valuable exposure to advanced research and networking opportunities within a prominent national scientific institution. Long-term career growth would likely involve leveraging this research experience and publications for future academic or industry roles.
