Technical Officer & Senior Project Associate

This role is ideally suited for highly qualified and experienced researchers in life sciences, bio-engineering, biotechnology, or related medical fields. Candidates holding a Doctoral Degree with a strong publication record, or Master's/Bachelor's degrees with significant R&D experience (2-4 years), especially those with practical expertise in infectious disease research, mammalian cell culture, and molecular biology techniques, would be excellent fits. It's best for individuals seeking temporary, project-based work within a dynamic academic research environment.

This is a purely contractual and temporary position, co-terminus with the project, making it unsuitable for those seeking permanent government employment or long-term career stability within the institution. Applicants without the specific educational qualifications or the stipulated R&D experience (or required publications for PhD holders) should not apply. Additionally, candidates exceeding 50 years of age on the interview date are ineligible.

IISER Tirupati is a reputable autonomous institution under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, offering a credible platform for cutting-edge scientific research. While this specific position is contractual, it provides valuable exposure to significant research projects, contributing to one's academic and professional profile. The role offers an opportunity to work on an 'extramural project' with direct implications for public health (dengue infection), enhancing research credentials. Long-term career progression directly within this role is limited due to its temporary nature, but the experience gained is highly transferable to future research or academic endeavors.
