RECRUITMENT FOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST POSITIONS
Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI), is an autonomous research institute being set up by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Govt. of India as a part of the interdisciplinary Health Biotech Science cluster, located at Faridabad in the National Capital Region. The THSTI is designed to be a dynamic and interactive organization with a mission to conduct innovative translational research and develop research collaborations across disciplines and professions to accelerate the development of concepts into tangible products to improve human health. The other members of the cluster include the Regional Center for Biotechnology (RCB) and the National Institute of Immunology (NII) with which THSTI will have seamless scientific collaboration to achieve the interdisciplinary expertise. The cluster institutions will have access to state of the art experimental animal facility and the platform technology center for the sophisticated instrumentation.
Vaccine and Infectious Disease Research Center (VIDRC) is being set up as a mission center of the THSTI to study infectious disease and pathogens with the aim to generate translational knowledge for developing prophylactic and therapeutic measures against diseases prevalent in India. The interim laboratories of the centre are located at Udhyog Vihar Phase III, Gurgaon in the South of Delhi area, having ample residential, recreational and schooling facilities in the immediate vicinity. The permanent laboratories of the center will come up at Faridabad in the next 3-4 years.
The institute is seeking sincere and dedicated individuals for appointment at the Research Scientist-C (Salary scale Rs 15600-39100 + GP 6600 + allowances) and Research Scientist-D (Salary scale Rs 15600-39100 + GP 7600 + allowances) levels to work in areas of immunology, virology, microbiology, structural, chemical, and systems biology related to vaccine and infectious disease research. Fresh PhDs with quality publications are eligible to be considered for the Research Scientist-C position while three years of relevant post-doctoral training with high quality published work is desirable for the Research Scientist-D position. Appointment will be made on contract initially for a period of 5 years with one year probation period. These are non-faculty research cadre positions where selected candidates are required to work with the principal investigators of the center as part of the mission team.
Interested scientists holding Indian citizenship may send their bio-data containing details of qualification, positions held, professional experience/distinctions and copies of notable publications, with names and email addresses of three potential referees to the Manager (A&F), Translational Health Science and Technology Institute C/o National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi 110067. People working in public sector institutions within India are required to have their applications forwarded through proper channels.
