Technical Officer & Senior Project Associate

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals with a strong research background in life sciences, bio-engineering, biotechnology, or related fields. Candidates holding a Doctoral Degree with peer-reviewed publications are particularly well-suited. Those possessing a Master's or a four-year Bachelor's degree with substantial R&D experience (minimum 2-4 years) in industrial, academic, or S&T organizations will also find this role suitable. Specific experience in infectious disease research, mammalian cell culture, pathogenic viruses, protein expression, purification, and molecular biology techniques is a significant advantage.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contractual and temporary position, co-terminus with the project. Candidates who do not meet the strict academic qualifications (minimum of a four-year Bachelor's with experience, or a Master's with experience, or a Doctoral Degree) or are over 50 years of age on the interview date will not be eligible.

IISER Tirupati is a premier autonomous institution under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, offering a highly reputable environment for scientific research. While this specific position is contractual and project-based, it provides excellent exposure and valuable research experience within a central government institution, which can significantly enhance a candidate's profile for future academic or research roles in India and abroad.
