Project Technician III

This role is ideal for highly motivated B.Sc. Medical Laboratory Technology graduates or postgraduates in microbiology/biotechnology/virology with at least three years of experience in a relevant field. Candidates with hands-on experience in molecular techniques like Real-time PCR, virus isolation, next-generation sequencing, and BSL-2 laboratory work will be particularly well-suited for this research-intensive, project-based position.

Candidates lacking the essential three years of relevant experience or the specified educational qualifications should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this unsuitable as it is a one-year contract project post with no claim to regular employment. Individuals preferring roles without specific laboratory work or pan-India project scope may also find this less appealing.

JIPMER is a highly reputable national institute, offering a valuable opportunity to work on an ICMR-funded 'Pan India surveillance' project focused on respiratory viruses. While a contract position, it provides significant exposure to advanced research techniques and contributes to public health, enhancing career prospects in medical research. The role offers specialized skill development within a prestigious academic and research environment.
