CSIR-CLRI Recruitment 2026: 58 Project & Research Fellow Vacancies

This recruitment is ideal for dynamic and research-oriented candidates with B.E./B.Tech, M.Sc, M.Pharm, or Diploma qualifications looking for temporary project-based roles in Leather Technology, Chemical, Biotechnology, Computer Science, and related engineering/science disciplines. Individuals with NET/GATE qualifications are particularly encouraged as they are eligible for higher emoluments and direct interview opportunities. Freshers meeting basic qualification criteria and those with up to 4 years of industrial or research experience, especially in specialized areas like biomaterial fabrication, footwear science, or data analytics, will find these roles suitable for gaining valuable experience and contributing to national R&D initiatives.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply as these are purely temporary, project-specific positions. Final year/semester students awaiting results are ineligible. Those who have already completed the total tenure of 6 or 7 years as Project Staff in any CSIR Lab/Institute are not eligible. Individuals without the specified minimum academic qualifications (minimum 55-60% marks) or the essential 3 years of research experience required for Senior Project Associate roles will not be considered.

CSIR-CLRI, a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), is a highly reputable national institute. While the advertised positions are temporary and project-based, they offer an excellent opportunity for research exposure and professional development within a premier R&D environment. Successful candidates will gain valuable experience in specialized fields, which can be a significant asset for future career progression in both academia and industry. These roles do not confer rights to permanent appointment but provide a strong foundation and networking opportunities within the scientific community.
