Project Associate II

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated individuals holding an M.Sc. in Life Sciences, who have successfully cleared national-level eligibility tests like NET/DBT-JRF/GATE. Candidates must possess a minimum of two years of R&D experience in industrial, academic, or scientific organizations, with a strong background in molecular biology techniques such as gene cloning, protein purification, and cryo-electron microscopy. A genuine passion for a career in research, particularly in areas related to anti-tuberculosis drug development, is essential.

Individuals without an M.Sc. degree in Life Sciences or equivalent qualifications, or those who have not cleared NET/DBT-JRF/GATE (or equivalent), should not apply. Lack of the mandatory two years of R&D experience will also be a disqualifier. This position is contractual for one year, making it unsuitable for candidates seeking permanent employment.

The Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB), an autonomous institution under UNESCO and DBT, offers a prestigious platform for research. This specific project, focusing on anti-tuberculosis drug targets, holds significant scientific and public health importance. A one-year tenure as a Project Associate II provides invaluable experience in cutting-edge research, enhancing future career prospects in academia or pharmaceutical R&D, both nationally and internationally.
