BRIC-NIAB Project Associate II Recruitment Advt 29/2026

BRIC-NIAB Project Associate II Recruitment 2026: Overview

BRIC-National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (BRIC-NIAB), an autonomous institute of the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) in Hyderabad, is hiring a Project Associate II under Advertisement No. 29/2026. The post sits in a DBT-funded project titled "Experimental Validation of Natural Products from Selected Medicinal Plants of Northeast Region as Ectoparasiticides", led by Dr. Anand Srivastava, Scientist-E.

In plain terms, the project tests plant-derived compounds from Northeast India as treatments against external parasites such as ticks and mites in animals. If you have worked on natural product chemistry, Soxhlet extraction, isolation of active molecules from plants, or HPTLC and HPLC analysis, the institute says you will be given preference. It suits a postgraduate researcher who already has two years of lab or R&D experience and wants to build a portfolio in veterinary drug discovery.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project tenure: The engagement is for one year and can be extended if your performance is satisfactory. It is tied to the project, not a permanent institute post.
• HRA: House Rent Allowance is paid only if applicable under the institute's rules.
• Degree proof: Only a Provisional Degree Certificate or a Convocation Degree Certificate is accepted as proof of your qualification — mark sheets alone will not do.
• Experience proof: Experience certificates must be issued by the Head of the Department or Office where you worked.
• Originals at joining: You submit original documents for date of birth, qualifications and experience at the time of joining, not at the application stage.
• Online interview: Shortlisted candidates are informed by email and interviewed by a selection committee in online mode, so you do not need to travel to Hyderabad for the interview.
• No follow-up queries: The institute will not answer interim inquiries about the status of your application.

Application Submission Notes

Applications are accepted only through NIAB's online application system. Register as a fresh user (or log in), fill the form for Advt. No. 29/2026, and submit before the link closes at 5 PM on the last date.

You do not need to post a hard copy. The institute advises you to finish the form well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical problems, and to keep an eye on your email for the shortlisting message.
