Chief Mentor & Technician

This recruitment is ideal for individuals passionate about science popularization and innovation, particularly those with a background in science or engineering. The Chief Mentor role suits experienced professionals in research or teaching looking for a short-term contractual engagement without age restrictions. The Technician position is well-suited for ITI-qualified individuals with electrical trade experience seeking a contractual role in a science centre environment, with age relaxation for reserved categories.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as both positions are contractual for 11 months with potential for extension. Those without the specified educational qualifications or relevant experience, particularly for the Technician role's ITI requirement, will be unsuitable. Individuals not enthusiastic about working with students and promoting science engagement may find the roles challenging.

The Solapur Science Centre is an autonomous society jointly developed by state and central government bodies, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to science education and innovation at a regional level. While the roles are contractual and for a fixed duration, they provide valuable experience in a reputable science institution. Long-term career progression might require transitioning to other roles or organizations, but the experience gained here would be significant for those dedicated to science outreach and technical support.
