CSIR-NEERI Project Associate Recruitment 2026 (1 Post)

This role is ideal for fresh B.E./B. Tech. graduates in Chemical Engineering who are looking for an entry into R&D projects, particularly those related to environmental impact assessment. Candidates with national-level examination qualifications (NET/GATE) will be eligible for a higher emolument. The position offers hands-on experience in field work, data collection, and report preparation within a prestigious national research institute, making it suitable for those keen on practical research exposure.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment or roles with immediate career progression should note this is a purely temporary, project-specific position with no regularization rights. Those awaiting final semester results or Ph.D. submission are ineligible to apply. Applicants not comfortable with a contract-based engagement for R&D projects or those expecting a permanent government job will find this role unsuitable.

CSIR-NEERI is a renowned national-level research institute, offering significant exposure to environmental engineering projects. While the role is temporary and co-terminus with the project, it provides invaluable experience in a specialized R&D domain, potentially opening doors for future research or project-based opportunities within CSIR or related sectors. It serves as an excellent stepping stone for a research career but does not guarantee long-term stability or direct growth paths within the organization.
