University of Calcutta Recruitment 2025 - 4 Senior Project Associate, Project Associate & Assistant Posts

Candidates without the stipulated years of R&D experience for the Associate positions should not apply. The roles are purely project-based with a fixed tenure, so those seeking permanent government employment may find it unsuitable. The application process is a walk-in interview in Kolkata, which may not be feasible for out-of-state candidates.

Working at the University of Calcutta, a prestigious institution, on a Gates Foundation funded project offers excellent exposure and a strong addition to one's CV. It provides an opportunity to contribute to significant research in agricultural biotechnology, enhancing career prospects in both academic and industrial R&D sectors.
