AU Project Technical Support III Zoology Recruitment 2026: Overview
University of Allahabad (AU) is recruiting Project Technical Support-III for its Department of Zoology in Prayagraj. The contract belongs to an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) project studying potential clot-dissolving drug candidates from blowfly larvae and their relevance to thrombosis disorders. The work is supported through ICMR's Investigator-Initiated Research Proposals for Extramural Small Grants scheme.
The project is led by Dr. Ramaraj P. as Principal Investigator and Dr. Arindam Bandyopadhyay as Co-Principal Investigator. It brings together insect-based research and the study of possible drug candidates. If you are considering this opening, keep the project's scientific focus and its temporary funding arrangement in mind.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Initial appointment: You will first be appointed for one year within a project whose stated tenure is three years. Further continuation depends on your performance and the recommendation of the Principal Investigator and Co-Principal Investigator.
- Project-linked end: The contract ends automatically when the research project ends, without a separate termination notice. The full project tenure is not an unconditional promise of employment for that entire period.
- No absorption: This appointment gives you no claim to a permanent position at the university or the funding agency. Consider it as a project contract when planning your next move.
- Applicable rules: The funding agency's project terms govern the appointment. Other conditions follow University of Allahabad and ICMR rules, and leave follows ICMR's project human-resource policy.
- Joining: The selected applicant must join immediately after receiving the offer. Check whether your existing commitments allow you to meet that condition.
- Travel: No TA/DA is payable for attending the interview. You will need to arrange and pay for your travel if called.
- Accuracy: You are responsible for the information in your application. Incorrect information or failure to meet the stated conditions can lead to cancellation, including after appointment.
- Communication: Further recruitment communication goes to shortlisted applicants by email. Provide an active email address and mobile number so the project team can contact you.
