Research Assistant III

This role is ideal for dedicated research professionals holding a Master's (M.Sc./B.Tech. or equivalent) degree with a minimum of 4 years of hands-on experience in specialized neuroscience research techniques such as histology, cryosectioning, immunohistochemistry, bright field/confocal microscopy, stereology, and 3D neuron reconstruction. Candidates seeking a project-based, short-term (6-12 months) research opportunity within a prestigious national research institution will find this suitable.

Individuals looking for permanent government employment or long-term career stability within a single institution may find the contractual nature and limited tenure (6 months, extendable to 1 year) to be a dealbreaker. Those without the highly specific research experience mentioned or expecting a higher remuneration package should also reconsider applying.

The National Brain Research Centre (NBRC) is a highly respected Deemed University and a DBT organization, offering an excellent environment for specialized neuroscience research. While the position is contractual and project-dependent, it provides invaluable experience in advanced research methodologies and contributes to a significant project ('Neuroanatomical Studies to elucidate the Development of the Human Auditory Cortex'), enhancing a researcher's profile within the scientific community.
