PGIMER Senior Project Assistant Recruitment 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by Email by 24 Aug (Chandigarh)

PGIMER Senior Project Assistant Recruitment 2026 is out — Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh, has released Advertisement No. GE/2026/5400000866 for 1 contractual Senior Project Assistant vacancy. Is this notification out? Yes — released 11 August 2026, with email applications accepted until 24 August 2026 and an interview scheduled for 3 September 2026, offering Life Sciences graduates and postgraduates a route into medical research support work at one of India's premier postgraduate medical institutions. The selected Senior Project Assistant will support a research project at PGIMER, with the Life Sciences qualification requirement suggesting laboratory-based or biomedical research work, though the specific department and research area are not detailed in the publicly available summary. The selection process is an Interview, scheduled for 3 September 2026 — 10 days after the application deadline, giving candidates a reasonably clear window to prepare. The consolidated salary is ₹30,600 per month. The application must be submitted by email; there is no online application portal. The last date to send biodata is 24 August 2026. There is no application fee. Candidates must read the complete official notification before applying, clearly mention the post applied for in the subject line of their application email, and attach self-attested copies of all required documents, since PGIMER is one of India's most prestigious medical research institutions and competition for even contractual research support positions can be substantial given the institute's national reputation and the relatively attractive consolidated salary for this grade of contractual role.

Three-year Graduate degree in a relevant Life Sciences subject/field along with 3 years' relevant experience, OR a First Class M.Sc. in a relevant Life Sciences subject/field. This dual pathway means candidates can qualify either through a Bachelor's degree combined with substantial hands-on experience, or through a strong First Class Master's degree alone without the additional experience requirement — giving fresh M.Sc. graduates with excellent academic records a direct route to eligibility alongside experienced Bachelor's-level candidates.

Maximum age: 35 years

• Three-year Graduate degree in Life Sciences plus 3 years' relevant experience, OR First Class M.Sc. in Life Sciences (no additional experience required for this pathway)
• Maximum age 35 years
• This is a contractual position tied to a specific research project at PGIMER, not a permanent institute appointment
• Candidates should prepare for the interview on 3 September 2026 well in advance, given the relatively short 10-day gap between the application deadline and interview date
