About Us:
Vacancy Notice Laboratory Assistant ,Field Worker Vacancy – IASST,Assam
- Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST) is a premier scientific research organization in the north-east region, IASST was conceived and nurtured by the Assam Science Society in its initial years and was inagurated by Noble Laureate Dorothy C. Hodgkin on 3rd November 1979. Subsequently, it was supported by the state govt. as its only autonomous R&D institute till March 2009. The institute was taken over in March, 2009 by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt of India as one of its autonomous R&D Institute.
- The Institute is engaged in multi disciplinary research activities, both in fundamental and applied, across frontier areas of science and technology such as Plasma Physics, Polymer Sciences, Biochemistry, Drug Design & Development, Nano-science, Medicinal Plants, Seri Biotechnology, Microbial Biotechnology, Environmental Sciences, Microbial Fuel Cell etc.
- To emerge as a centre of excellence in frontier research areas of Physical and Life Sciences with international visibility and building human resources towards advanced scientific knowledge for societal development.
- Building of state-of-the-art infrastructure for basic and applied research in the area of Physical & Life Sciences.
- Generation of technology from natural resources of NE region and their application for socio-economic upliftment.
- Generation of quality scientific manpower from among human resources of NE region.
- To create a centre of excellence for basic applied scientific research in Physical and Life Sciences.
- To strengthen scientific research in core areas by generating funds through extramural projects.
- To attract and motivate the young talents towards scientific research
- To spread awareness for growth of science and technology in the region through societal interventions.
- The current outputs of IASST in terms of infrastructure, technology, scientific manpower generation and several outreach ventures are listed here. It is a sincere belief that the vision of original founders of IASST has now come to some level of fruition, although in the same breadth, we feel that the achievement is not proportionate to the long journey of 39 years since its establishment in 1979. This has been mainly because neither its founder, The Assam Science Society, had resources to support the new borne institute nor the Government of Assam supported it adequately for the growth of infrastructure and manpower so that it could flourish as a scientific institute in the region. It was only from the time of its taking over in 2009 by DST, Govt. of India that the true research spirit came alive and infrastructure and other research ambiance began taking shape.This is clear from a glance at few parameters with actual values for the periods 2009-12, 2013-16 and 2017-18.
