NIAB FADH SRF and Project Assistant Recruitment 2026

NIAB Multi-Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

BRIC-National Institute of Animal Biotechnology (BRIC-NIAB) is hiring project staff for a DBT-BBSRC-funded India-UK FADH study led by Dr Bappaditya Dey. The work examines why three bovine-tuberculosis pathogens behave differently, including their drug resistance, genomic variation and interaction with the host. The notice combines a laboratory research role in Hyderabad with a project-management role in Delhi, so you should choose the application form that matches your background.

The scientific position supports a comparative study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. bovis and M. orygis. The administrative position supports coordination between the participating offices and helps keep a complex international project moving. Both engagements are project-linked, which means continuity depends on the project period and satisfactory performance rather than creating a regular institute post.

Posts and Disciplines

• Senior Research Fellow: laboratory-based work at BRIC-NIAB, Hyderabad, with emphasis on biotechnology, biochemistry, microbiology or immunology. Hands-on exposure to cell culture, animal experiments, ELISA, FACS, molecular biology or BSL-3 tuberculosis research will strengthen your profile.
• Senior Project Assistant: project coordination and office-management work at the Department of Biotechnology in Delhi. The role suits a graduate who has handled meetings, conferences, government-office procedures, supervisory work and electronic file processing.

Post-wise Duties

Senior Research Fellow

You will contribute to experiments that compare the target pathogens, maintain accurate laboratory and research records, and support cell-based, animal or immunological work according to the study plan. You may also help organise results for review by the principal investigator and project partners.

Senior Project Assistant

You will coordinate project activity, arrange meetings and conferences, process office and electronic files, and track communication between the project team and government offices. You will also use your knowledge of office rules to keep approvals and records organised.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial tenure: each appointment is for one year and may be extended after a performance review.
• Project link: the positions are co-terminus with the project, which is scheduled to continue until July 2028.
• Work location: the research fellow works at BRIC-NIAB in Hyderabad, while the project assistant works from the Department of Biotechnology in Delhi.
• Communication: shortlisted applicants will be contacted by email, and the interview will be held online before a duly formed selection committee.
• Proof of education: only a provisional degree certificate or a convocation degree certificate will be accepted as degree proof; experience letters must come from the head of the relevant department or office.

Application Submission Notes

The notice provides separate online forms for the two posts on its official application page. Choose the correct role before entering your details, and complete the form early enough to avoid a last-minute technical problem. You do not need to send a hard copy.

Keep your original proof of date of birth, education and experience ready for joining. The institute says it will not handle interim queries, so use an active email address and check it regularly for screening and interview communication.
