NU JRF or Project Associate Botany Recruitment 2026: Overview

Nagaland University (NU) is recruiting for a project appointment in its Department of Botany at Lumami. The work is linked to the DBT-NER Advanced-Level Institutional Biotech Hub at Nagaland University, Lumami, supported by the Department of Biotechnology under the Ministry of Science and Technology. The notice provides for appointment as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) or Project Associate-I within the same project opening.

Posts and Disciplines

  • Junior Research Fellow: The research-fellow designation under the hub project. It belongs to the same advertised opening as the Project Associate-I alternative, rather than a separate recruitment.
  • Project Associate-I: The alternative project designation provided in the notice. Both designations are tied to the Botany department and the same sponsored research project at Lumami.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Project tenure: The appointment ends with the project. You should view it as a project-linked engagement; the notice does not promise a continuing university appointment after the project ends.
  • Funding conditions: The funding agency’s rules govern the fellowship. The notice refers to those rules for the appointment rather than setting out a separate university fellowship arrangement.
  • Interview expenses: No travel or daily allowance is provided for attending the interview. You will need to arrange your journey to Lumami at your own expense.

Application Submission Notes

The walk-in venue is the Department of Botany, Nagaland University, Lumami, and the interview time is 11:30 AM. Your application should be on plain paper and brought to the venue; this is an in-person application route.
