RCB Project Associate I Recruitment 2026: Overview

Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB) is recruiting a Project Associate-I for a study on histone modifications and antifungal drug resistance in Candida auris. The project is based at RCB in Faridabad, Haryana, and focuses on research that could help identify new therapeutic strategies.

The scientific focus is epigenetics and antifungal resistance. The project connects histone modifications with the question of how Candida auris resists antifungal drugs, giving this opening a specific research context within molecular biology.

Dr. Surbhi Kohli, MK Bhan Fellow, is the principal investigator, and Dr. Anil Thakur, Associate Professor, is the mentor. If you are considering the role, the project subject and its research setting are useful points to weigh alongside the formal requirements shown on this page.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Initial tenure: The appointment runs for one year at first. You should plan around this initial project appointment when considering the opportunity.
  • Extension: Continued engagement depends on an annual evaluation and can run only within the duration of the project. An extension is conditional, rather than a commitment made at the time of recruitment.
  • Research setting: The position belongs to the named Candida auris project at RCB. The centre is located in the NCR Biotech Science Cluster on the Faridabad-Gurgaon Expressway.
