    CSIR - NBRI invites Project Scientist, Research Associate, JRF

    The CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI) - is amongst one of the constituent research institutes of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi. Originally set up as the National Botanic Gardens (NBG) by the State Government of Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), it was taken over by the CSIR in 1953. Though, initially engaged in research in the classical botanical disciplines, the NBG went on laying an increasing emphasis, in keeping with the national needs and priorities in the field of plant sciences, on its applied and developmental research activities. A time came when it was felt that the name NBG no longer projected the correct nature and extent of its aims and objectives, functions and R & D activities. Consequently, the NBG was renamed as the NBRI, i.e., The National Botanical Research Institute in 1978. This name has since correctly reflected the distinctive character and the R & D activities of this applied botanical institution only of its type in the country.

    Eligible & interested candidates are invited for interview for the purely temporary positions in the following areas under the sponsored projects tenable at CSIR-NBRI:-

    Walk in Interview for Junior Research Fellow at Assam University

    Assam University came into existence through Assam (Central) University Act, 1989 (Act. No. XIII). It was  established in 1994, since then the University is steadily becoming an excellent centre of learning. The campus, situated in Dargakona, about 20 kms from  Silchar, is set amid sprawling hillocks, a typical landscape in the  North East. The campus  in an area of  600 acres surrounded by lakes and mountains provides  an ideal environment for academic pursuit.

    Applicants are invited to appear in a walk-in-interview for 1 (one) post of Junior Research Fellow in the DBT (GOI) funded project entitled “Investigating the molecular basis of the anti-parkinsonian effects of Garcinol-a phytoconstituent of Garcinia sp. in animal model of Parkinson’s disease” for a period of two (02) years (may be extended by 1 year).

  • In an effort to create a globally competitive biopharmaceutical industry that addresses the countrys major concerns about barriers to affordable healthcare, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has launched the Innovate in India (i3) program, As well as the systemic support to pursue their aspirations in biotechnological innovation, and to transform India into a global hub for cutting-edge biotechnology research and development.

    A collaborative mission between industry and academia to accelerate discovery research for the early development of biopharmaceuticals, this USD 250 million DBT program is a unique mission that brings together industry and academia to promote entrepreneurship and Indigenous manufacturing in the biopharmaceutical sector.

    This collaborative mission between industry and academia is expected to change the game for the Indian biopharma industry. This flagship program of the DBT, in collaboration with the World Bank, will be implemented by the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) of the DBT.

    The program will specifically focus on the development of new vaccines, bio-therapeutics, diagnostics and medical devices to better address the growing burden of disease in the country. It will also bring together isolated centers of excellence, improve regional capacities and strengthen the existing network of bio-clusters in terms of capacity as well as quantity and quality of production.


    The program aims to create an ecosystem conducive to promoting entrepreneurship and indigenous manufacturing in the sector. It will help nurture the next generation of technical skills; Promoting entrepreneurship; And support institutions in adopting innovations, technologies and models of global licenses. The program will help deliver 6 to 10 new products over the next five years, create several dedicated facilities for next-generation skills and hundreds of jobs in the process. It will provide young entrepreneurs with the confidence and systemic support to pursue their aspirations in biotechnological innovation and transform India into a world center of research and development.

    As a flagship program of the Government of India in collaboration with the World Bank, it promises to boost the national biopharma growth curve in India by accelerating the translation of research concepts to viable products, supporting clinical validation, enabling sustainable networks of collaboration between industry And Academy and supporting business ecosystems among many others.


    Currently India has only 2.8% share in the global biopharmaceutical market, the program would elevate this to 5% resulting in an additional business opportunity of 16 billion USD.

    The Monitoring of the program would be provided by the Interministerial Steering Committee composed of members from various Ministries; And it would have the support of the Technical Advisory Group of the Program composed of world and national leaders of the industry and the academic world. Therefore, the program is unique in its approach with the participation of global experts, industry leaders and the World Bank in its drive and ensuring that world-class biomedical products are born out of the initiative.
