Research Associate & Junior Research Fellow

These roles are ideal for highly motivated PhD and Master's graduates in life sciences, particularly Biochemistry, Biophysics, Structural Biology, or Biotechnology, with specific hands-on experience in molecular cloning, protein expression, purification, and enzyme characterization. Candidates seeking project-based work within a cutting-edge Bio-Artificial Intelligence initiative focusing on vaccine development and biologics optimization will find this opportunity suitable.

Individuals lacking the specified PhD or Master's degrees, or without practical experience in the mandatory molecular biology and protein biochemistry techniques, should not apply. Those seeking permanent government positions or without a strong background in enzymology and protein biophysics will find these project-based contractual roles unsuitable. Candidates with one-year M.Sc. degrees are explicitly excluded for the Junior Research Fellow post.

ACTREC, part of the prestigious Tata Memorial Centre and a unit of the Department of Atomic Energy, offers an excellent opportunity to work on a central government-funded project within an interdisciplinary and innovative Bio-Artificial Intelligence Hub. While the positions are contractual, the experience gained in advanced research and vaccine development under such a reputable institution provides significant career value and exposure, though long-term permanence is not guaranteed.
