UM-DAE Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences RA Recruitment 2026: Apply for 6 Research Associate Positions

This role is ideally suited for ambitious Ph.D. holders in Biological, Chemical, or Physical Sciences with a strong academic and research publication record, particularly those with at least two peer-reviewed publications, including one as a first author. Candidates with specific desirable experience in molecular biology techniques, advanced spectroscopy, or synthesis and characterization relevant to the respective research areas will find this opportunity particularly fitting. It's excellent for individuals committed to a research career within a prestigious government-aided institution.

Candidates who do not possess a Ph.D. degree (or have not yet submitted their thesis) or lack the mandatory peer-reviewed publications are not eligible. Those seeking permanent government employment should note that this is a contractual research position with an initial term of one year, extendable up to three years. Individuals not keen on a focused research environment or who do not meet the age criteria for RA-I or RA-II positions should also reconsider.

UM-DAE CEBS, an aided institute under India's Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), offers a highly prestigious platform for scientific research. This position provides unparalleled exposure to state-of-the-art facilities and opportunities for collaboration with leading research institutes. While contractual, the experience gained here is invaluable for building a strong resume for future scientific and academic roles, offering significant professional growth in basic and applied sciences.
