NIAB Principal Project Associate Recruitment 2026: Overview
BRIC-National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (BRIC-NIAB) is hiring a Principal Project Associate (PPA) for the Centre for Advanced Veterinary Diagnostics and Pathogen Genomics (CAVDPG) in Hyderabad. This project engagement supports the establishment and operation of the centre, bringing diagnostic protocols, laboratory quality systems and coordination into the same role.
The institute is an autonomous body under the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology. The notice describes the associate as key technical personnel for CAVDPG, so your work would connect the centre's scientific activities with its practical laboratory operations.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Initial term: The engagement begins with an 11-month period. Keep this initial term in mind when considering the position and your plans for working with CAVDPG.
- Extension: A further term depends on the centre's requirements, your performance and the availability of funds. An extension is conditional, so the initial appointment does not by itself promise a longer stay.

- Application format: NIAB does not ask you to send a hard copy of the application. The notice uses the online application as the submission route for this advertisement.
- Communication: NIAB will contact shortlisted applicants through email. Watch the email account you use for your application so you can receive the institute's communication about your candidature.
- Enquiries: The notice says interim enquiries will not be entertained. Use the advertisement and the institute's direct communication for information about this recruitment.
