Project Associate I PAT I

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduates holding an M.Sc. in Marine Biology/Science or Ecology, who possess a keen interest in environmental impact assessment and practical field research. Candidates who have qualified national-level examinations like CSIR-UGC/ICAR/ICMR NET or GATE, or other central government-conducted exams, are particularly well-suited due to eligibility for higher emoluments.

Individuals who are currently awaiting their final semester results or Ph.D. submission are explicitly ineligible. Those seeking permanent government employment should note that this is a purely temporary, project-based position, co-terminus with the project's duration. Candidates unwilling to engage in fieldwork, data collection, and report preparation activities will find this role unsuitable.

CSIR-NEERI is a nationally recognized research institute under CSIR, offering significant exposure to critical environmental engineering and impact assessment projects. While the engagement is temporary, it provides invaluable hands-on experience in a prominent project (Environmental Impact Assessment for Gas Cracker Unit expansion), which can be a strong foundation for future careers in environmental research, consulting, or related government and private sector roles. The institute's reputation ensures high-quality research experience.
