CSIR-NEERI Nagpur Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026: 2 Vacancies

This role is ideal for fresh M.Sc. or Integrated Master's graduates in Microbiology, Biotechnology, or Life Sciences, particularly those who have qualified national-level examinations like CSIR-UGC/ICAR/ICMR NET or GATE, as they will receive a higher emolument. Candidates seeking temporary, project-based research experience in environmental science, especially involving field, lab, data analysis, and molecular biology techniques, will find this a valuable opportunity.

Candidates who require permanent employment or cannot commit to a temporary, project-specific role should not apply. Those awaiting final semester results or PhD submission are explicitly ineligible. Individuals looking for roles with extensive age relaxation details or guaranteed long-term career progression might find this opportunity less suitable due to its co-terminus nature with the project.

CSIR-NEERI is a prestigious national research institute, offering a strong foundation in environmental engineering and research. While the Project Associate-I role is temporary and tied to a specific project, it provides excellent exposure to cutting-edge R&D and a chance to work within a reputed scientific environment. This experience can be a significant stepping stone for future academic or research careers, despite the absence of immediate regularization prospects.
