Center of Innovative and Applied Bioprocessing (CIAB) is an autonomous national institute under Department
of Biotechnology (Govt. of India). This futuristic innovation institute of its own kind in the country has a mission
of advancing knowledge, leads and emerging technologies/processes relevant to agri-food sector towards
applications and products. It aims to link them with societal benefits through catalysing/promoting entrepreneurial
action around bioprocesses, bio-products, value-addition to bioproducts etc. with special reference to the agrifood sector. Currently, the four major mandated R&D areas in hand at the institute are (A) Value Addition to
Primary Processing Residues/ Wastes for Edible Products; (B) Valorisation of Crop Waste for Speciality
Products and Chemicals; (C) Nutritionals, nutraceuticals and upgradation of value or use of bio-products, (D)
Biosynthetic technology/synthetic biology for low volume-high value products and industrial enzymes. To support
and steer this mission, the institute requires following temporary research positions on stipendary / fellowship basis:
