About This Job

BRIC-THSTI is conducting a walk-in recruitment for 6 research project posts at Faridabad. The posts are Senior Project Associate, Principal Project Associate, Research Associate-I, and Project Associate-II.

Salary ranges from Rs. 33,000 to Rs. 58,000 per month plus HRA, depending on the post.

BRIC-THSTI Research Project Recruitment 2026 - 6 Posts

BRIC-Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (BRIC-THSTI) has released Rolling Recruitment Notice No. THS/RN/01/2026/05-II for short-term research project positions. These roles are linked to projects in biofoundry, tuberculosis research, ocular surface disease research, microbiology, molecular biology, biomaterials, and cell culture biology. The selection is through walk-in written test, skill test, or interview, so there is no separate online application window.

All positions are short-term project posts. Extension depends on project tenure, actual requirement, and satisfactory performance. The notice clearly says that selected candidates cannot claim regular employment at THSTI because these posts are tied to sponsored research projects.

Before attending, check the post-wise project carefully. The Bio Foundry project covers microbiology and bacterial culture work, the tuberculosis project needs molecular biology and protein purification exposure, and the ocular surface disease project needs biomaterials, cell culture, and preclinical study experience. This matters because the interview can focus on the exact project duties listed for the post.
