Role you're checking

Neuroscientist

Research

Neuroscientists study the structure, function, and disorders of the nervous system — from ion-channel biophysics and synaptic plasticity in a patch-clamp rig, to whole-brain fMRI imaging, to behaviour in animal models of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. In India the primary employers are NCBS Bangalore (TIFR-affiliated), NIMHANS Bangalore, IISc, the six IISERs, a growing set of CSIR/DBT institutes (CCMB Hyderabad, NII Delhi, NBRC Manesar, InStem Bangalore), and a nascent pharma/biotech industry lane at companies like Piramal, Sun Pharma R&D, and Biogen India. The canonical path is B.Sc/B.Tech → MSc/PhD (CSIR-UGC NET or DBT-JRF funded) → 4–6 year postdoc (India or abroad) → faculty or senior industry scientist; the academic bottleneck is severe, with far more PhDs produced than permanent faculty positions available. Industry R&D roles in CNS drug discovery — pharmacology, in-vitro models, translational biomarkers — are the realistic high-income exit from the postdoc treadmill.
