CSIR-CGCRI Research Associate - I Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This Research Associate - I position is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a PhD in Physics, Electronics, Photonics, or an equivalent field. Candidates with an ME/M.Tech in relevant engineering disciplines, possessing at least three years of research/teaching/design/development experience and a publication in an SCI journal, are also strongly encouraged to apply. The role is best suited for researchers seeking a short-term, project-specific engagement within a prestigious government scientific institution, contributing to advanced fiber laser technology.

Individuals seeking a permanent employment opportunity should not apply, as this is a contractual, project-based role with a tenure of one year or until the project concludes. Those who do not meet the stringent educational qualifications (PhD or ME/M.Tech with specific experience and publication) or exceed the age limit of 35 years (before applicable relaxations) will find themselves ineligible. Candidates whose qualifying degree results are awaited will also not be considered.

Working at CSIR-Central Glass & Ceramic Research Institute, an institution under the esteemed Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), offers significant academic and research prestige. Although a temporary, project-based role, it provides an excellent opportunity to gain specialized research experience in a leading government laboratory, enhancing a candidate's profile for future high-level research positions in both national and international scientific communities.
