CSIR-NEERI Senior Project Associate Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy in Environmental Science R&D

This role is ideal for experienced environmental science professionals with a Master's degree and a proven track record in R&D, particularly those with expertise in environmental data analysis, field surveys, and action plan development for river basins. Candidates looking for short-term, project-specific engagement within a prestigious research institution will find this opportunity suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-based position that does not guarantee regularization. Candidates without a mandatory M.Sc. in Environment Science and 3 years of relevant R&D experience (excluding thesis work) are not eligible. Those who prefer a fixed-location role might also find the possibility of posting at Zonal centres a dealbreaker.

CSIR-NEERI is a premier national research institute focusing on environmental engineering. While the engagement is temporary and project-specific, it offers valuable experience working on significant national projects like the Godavari River Basin plan. This enhances a professional's resume, providing exposure to high-impact research and potential for networking within the scientific community, though long-term career growth within NEERI is not implied by this specific role.
