BRIC-Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI) Research Scientist & Technical Support Recruitment 2026 - 2 Posts

BRIC-Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI), an autonomous institute under the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology, has issued Recruitment Notice No. THS/RN/11/2026 to fill 2 project positions at its Faridabad campus. THSTI runs multiple specialised research centres, including the Centre for Maternal and Child Health, Centre for Virus Research, Therapeutics and Vaccines, Centre for Tuberculosis Research, Centre for Immunobiology and Immunotherapy, and Centre for Drug Discovery, backed by core facilities such as a Bioassay Laboratory, Biorepository, Biosafety Level-3 Lab, Multi-Omics facility, and Experimental Animal Facility. The two open posts are attached to two ongoing research projects — one studying chikungunya virus-related chronic arthritis and another developing a plug-and-play vaccine platform using the OC43 virus backbone. This same recruitment notice also listed several other project posts with earlier walk-in interview dates between 6 and 9 July 2026; only the Project Research Scientist-I and Project Technical Support-III posts below still have interviews scheduled for 10 July 2026. Selection is entirely through a walk-in interview — there is no written exam, so if you meet the qualification you can walk in directly with your documents.
