CSIR-National Environmental Engineering Research Institute Recruitment 2026 for 02 Project Associate-I Vacancies

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated individuals holding an M.Sc. in Chemistry, Environmental Science, Hydrochemistry, or Botany, who possess practical experience in handling advanced analytical instruments (Ion Chromatograph, ICPOES, ICPMS, GCMS) and have proven capabilities in environmental fieldwork, including sample collection and analysis. Candidates who have qualified national-level eligibility tests like CSIR-UGC NET or GATE, or those selected through other Central Government-recognized national examinations, will be prioritized for higher emoluments.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these positions are purely temporary and project-specific. Those lacking specific hands-on experience with the mentioned analytical instruments or field sampling will find it difficult to meet the 'Job Requirement' criteria. Additionally, candidates with awaited results or those in their final semester/Ph.D. submission stage are not eligible.

Working at CSIR-NEERI offers a valuable opportunity to gain experience in cutting-edge environmental research at a renowned national institute. While the positions are temporary and co-terminus with specific projects, they provide excellent exposure and networking opportunities within the scientific community. This role is ideal for those looking to build a strong research profile and contribute to significant environmental studies, despite the limited number of vacancies and contractual nature of the engagement.
