CSIR-NEERI Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026: 4 Vacancies for Environmental Research Staff

This role is ideal for M.Sc. graduates in Geology, Applied Geology, Geophysics, Hydrology, or Hydrogeology, particularly those who have qualified national-level examinations like NET/GATE. Candidates interested in gaining valuable temporary research experience in environmental science, involving field work, data collection, and analysis within a prestigious government research institute, would find this position highly suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those who have not yet completed their M.Sc. (or whose results are awaited/Ph.D. submitted candidates) should not apply. This is a project-based, temporary position with no implicit right to regularization. Candidates uncomfortable with a defined project tenure and lack of immediate permanency should also consider other options.

CSIR-NEERI is a renowned national environmental engineering research institute, making this a prestigious opportunity for early-career researchers. While the position is temporary, it offers an excellent platform to contribute to critical environmental studies in India and gain significant experience that could enhance future academic or research career prospects within the broader CSIR network or other scientific organizations.
