CSIR-NEERI Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026 - 2 Vacancies for Environmental Research

This role is ideal for dedicated science or engineering graduates (M.Sc. in Chemistry/Environmental Science or B.E./B.Tech in Civil/Environmental/Chemical Engineering) who are keen on contributing to critical environmental research. Candidates with CSIR-UGC NET/GATE or equivalent national level qualifications will receive higher emoluments. It's best suited for those seeking temporary, project-based engagement to gain specialized experience in air pollution studies, data analysis, and report writing, particularly within a prestigious national research institute like CSIR-NEERI.

Candidates seeking permanent government positions or long-term career stability should note that this is a purely temporary, project-based role with no right to regularization. Those who have not yet completed their essential qualification or are awaiting final semester results are ineligible. Individuals expecting explicit, mandatory prior work experience beyond academic qualifications may find this role focuses more on core research tasks.

Working with CSIR-NEERI offers significant prestige and exposure within the environmental research domain, especially on an international project concerning particulate matter studies in Doha, Qatar. While the position itself is temporary and project-specific, it provides invaluable experience that can enhance future career prospects in research, environmental consulting, or related government and private sectors.
