Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated Indian nationals holding a Master's degree in Biotechnology, Computational Biology, Data Science, Biology, Life Sciences, or Biochemistry with at least 55% marks. Candidates must have qualified CSIR-UGC NET/GATE or an equivalent National Level Test. It is particularly suited for those looking to gain research experience in computational biology, molecular dynamics, docking, and machine learning, and who might be interested in pursuing a Ph.D. program at IISER Tirupati.

Individuals who have not qualified CSIR-UGC NET/GATE or an equivalent national-level test, or those without a Master's degree in the specified disciplines, should not apply. The position is temporary and project-based, making it unsuitable for candidates seeking permanent employment or long-term job security within the institute immediately. Those over 30 years of age as of the application deadline are also ineligible.

IISER Tirupati is a nationally important autonomous institution, offering a prestigious environment for scientific research. While this JRF position is temporary and project-specific, it provides valuable exposure to cutting-edge research under an ANRF-PMECRG funded project. It serves as an excellent stepping stone for a research career, potentially leading to a regular Ph.D. program at IISER Tirupati, thereby enhancing long-term academic and research prospects.
