Project Associate II & Senior Project Associate

This opportunity is ideal for highly motivated researchers holding Master's or Doctoral degrees in natural/agricultural sciences, veterinary sciences, engineering, technology, or medicine. Candidates with significant prior research experience (2-4 years) in microbial pathogenesis, host immunity, gut inflammation, molecular biology techniques, and bioinformatics will find these roles particularly suitable. Those seeking exposure to cutting-edge research in a prestigious academic environment, even on a contractual basis, should consider applying.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles outside of core research in biotechnology are not suited for these positions, which are project-based and contractual for a limited duration. Candidates without the specified Master's or Doctoral level qualifications, or lacking relevant hands-on research experience in the mentioned fields, will not meet the essential criteria. This is not for entry-level candidates without prior research experience.

The Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB), an institution established by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, under the auspices of UNESCO, offers a highly prestigious platform for scientific research. While these roles are project-specific and contractual, they provide invaluable experience in a leading research organization, enhancing future career prospects in academia, industry, or further research endeavors. The project's focus on polyphosphate signalling in microbial pathogenesis offers scope for significant scientific contribution.
