Research Associate I

This role is ideal for highly qualified researchers holding a Ph.D. in Science or Engineering, or an M.D./M.S. degree in medicine, with a strong academic background, including first-author publications. Candidates with submitted theses are also encouraged to apply. Desirable experience in areas such as physiology, cell biology, molecular pharmacology, CRISPR, and mouse handling will be a significant advantage. This position suits individuals seeking to contribute to specific, project-based research in neuroscience.

Individuals without the specified advanced degrees (Ph.D./M.D./M.S. or thesis submission), those seeking permanent government employment, or those who cannot commit to a project-specific tenure should not apply. Lack of relevant research experience, particularly in the desirable skill sets, may also be a disadvantage given the competitive nature of the position.

The National Brain Research Centre (NBRC) is a prestigious Deemed University under the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), a Central Government organization. This Research Associate-I position offers an excellent opportunity to gain valuable, specialized research experience in a leading neuroscience institution. While it is a contract-based, project-specific role, it provides a strong platform for academic growth, publications, and networking within the scientific community, enhancing a researcher's long-term career prospects in academia or industry.
