NIPER Ahmedabad JRF Medicinal Chemistry Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) Ahmedabad is recruiting a Junior Research Fellow for a GSBTM-funded project in its Department of Medicinal Chemistry. The study focuses on short peptides and peptidomimetics that home to the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), in the context of biofilm-associated infections. You would join a project led by Dr. Bichismita Sahu from Medicinal Chemistry and Dr. Sapan Borah from Biotechnology at an institute under the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers. The key point for your planning is that this is a project-linked contract, with continuation tied to the research project.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial engagement: The appointment runs for one year. If you are considering this role, plan around that initial period rather than treating the possible extension as part of the offer.
• Possible extension: A further year may be offered when your performance is satisfactory and the project continues. Both conditions matter, so extension is not automatic.
• Project end: The fellowship ends with the project. The notice describes the position as temporary, so the engagement remains linked to that research assignment throughout its tenure.
• Travel costs: NIPER will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the interview. You should account for those costs if you are called to attend.
• Conduct: Canvassing can lead to disqualification. Keep your contact with the institute focused on the recruitment process and official communications.
• Communication: NIPER will contact shortlisted applicants by email. It also names rolling.recruitment@niperahm.res.in for further communication, so keep track of the email address you provide in your application.
