CURAJ Project Research Scientist-I Pharmacy Recruitment 2026: Overview
Central University of Rajasthan (CURAJ) is recruiting a Project Research Scientist-I (Non-Medical) for its Department of Pharmacy at Bandarsindri, Kishangarh, Ajmer. The work belongs to an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) funded project led by Dr. Umesh Gupta in the School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy.
The breast cancer research project studies a nanofiber approach combining an anti-cancer drug with a natural wound healer for loco-regional recurrent breast cancer. It uses poly-caprolactone and poly vinyl alcohol as part of that approach, placing this appointment within a specific drug-delivery study.
You would join through a project-linked contract. The research reference is IIRPSG-2025-01-00081, which helps you identify the correct project when checking the notice and preparing your application.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Initial term: The appointment starts with a one-year contract. Renewal depends on your performance and the needs of the research project.
- Project limit: The overall project runs for three years. The position ends with the project, so renewal is conditional rather than automatic.
- Joining: If selected, you must join in person at CURAJ before your fellowship or salary becomes effective.
- Interview expenses: You must cover your travel and daily expenses for attending the interview; the university will not reimburse them.
