Project Technical Support III

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated individuals holding a graduate degree in Zoology, Agricultural Entomology, or allied subjects with at least three years of relevant post-qualification work experience, or an M.Sc. in similar fields. Candidates should possess excellent academic records and crucial hands-on experience in specialized laboratory techniques such as insect rearing, hemolymph collection, protein isolation and purification, biochemical/enzymatic assays, SDS-PAGE, molecular biology (RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis, PCR, gene cloning, recombinant protein expression), microbial culture, and in vitro/in vivo experimental studies. Qualification in GATE/NET (Life Sciences) is a significant advantage. This position is perfect for those seeking to contribute to cutting-edge research in a Central University setting under an ICMR-funded project.

Individuals lacking the mandatory three years of post-qualification experience (for graduate degree holders) or the specified academic qualifications should not apply. Those without practical, hands-on experience in the listed molecular biology and entomology laboratory techniques will find this role challenging. Furthermore, candidates seeking a permanent government position or long-term job security should note that this is a temporary, contractual position tied to the duration of the research project, and does not guarantee permanent absorption.

Working as a Project Technical Support-III at the University of Allahabad, a prominent Central University, on an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) funded project, offers significant prestige and exposure. This role provides invaluable experience in advanced scientific research, particularly in the critical area of thrombolytic drug development from novel sources. It allows for skill development in a high-impact research environment and can significantly enhance a candidate's profile for future academic, research, or industry positions in life sciences, particularly in entomology, molecular biology, and drug discovery. While the position is contractual, the experience gained will be highly regarded within the scientific community.
