Panjab University Ph.D. Research Fellow 2026 — 2 Posts, Apply by 25 Sep

Panjab University has released Panjab University Ph.D. Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 for 2 contractual posts in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmacology. This Chandigarh government job 2026 opportunity is open to candidates holding a B.Pharm and M.Pharm degree with at least 55% marks, who have also qualified GATE/GPAT/Ph.D. Entrance Test or any National Entrance Test conducted by a Central Government department. Candidates can apply offline by the last date of 25 September 2026. Selected Research Fellows will pursue doctoral research at Panjab University's University Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (UIPS), in either Pharmaceutical Chemistry or Pharmacology as applicable to the post. The selection process for Panjab University Ph.D. Research Fellow 2026 is an interview combined with an evaluation of marks in B.Pharm/M.Pharm, GATE/GPAT score, publications, presentations, and patents. The consolidated stipend for these Research Fellow positions is Rs. 11,000 per month. Panjab University's UIPS is one of the older and more established pharmacy institutes in North India, and its Ph.D. programmes in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmacology regularly draw candidates who have already cleared national-level exams like GPAT, making this a research pathway rather than an entry-level teaching or industry role. The Panjab University Ph.D. Research Fellow 2026 application form can be downloaded from the official website at uips.pu.ac.in. The last date to submit the offline application is 25 September 2026, sent by post to the address specified in the notification. No application fee is charged for any category. Candidates must read the complete official Panjab University notification PDF before applying, since the M.Pharm specialisation requirement differs between the Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmacology posts.
