IISER Pune Project Assistant (Chemistry) Walk-in Interview 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for candidates holding an M.Sc. in Chemistry who are seeking temporary, project-based employment within a prestigious research institution. Preference is given to those with prior research experience in national labs, institutes, universities, or industry, particularly individuals interested in the maintenance and operation of NMR spectrometers in a laboratory setting. It suits early-career researchers looking to gain valuable hands-on experience in a specialized scientific environment.

Individuals aspiring for permanent government positions or those seeking significantly higher salaries will find this role unsuitable due to its temporary, contractual nature and fixed consolidated emoluments. Candidates without an M.Sc. degree in Chemistry should not apply. Those uninterested in laboratory instrument maintenance and operation, specifically NMR spectrometers, would not be a good fit.

IISER Pune is an Institute of National Importance, offering a highly reputable and stimulating academic research environment. While this specific position as a Project Assistant is temporary and project-funded, it provides excellent exposure to advanced scientific research and state-of-the-art instrumentation. This experience can significantly enhance one's resume and open doors to future academic, research, or technical careers, particularly in specialized scientific fields. However, direct long-term growth within this temporary role is limited, necessitating proactive career planning post-project completion.
