Project Associate

This role is ideally suited for candidates holding an M.Sc. degree in Microbiology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or Life Sciences, coupled with at least two years of practical experience in microbiology, molecular biology, bioinformatics analysis, or health risk assessment. Candidates who have qualified NET/GATE or other national level examinations conducted by Central Government departments are preferred for higher emoluments.

Individuals lacking the specified M.Sc. qualification and mandatory two years of relevant experience should not apply. Those seeking a permanent government position will find this role unsuitable, as it is purely temporary, contractual, and co-terminus with the project. Applicants unable to attend the physical walk-in interview at CSIR-NEERI, Nagpur on the specified date should also refrain from applying.

Working at CSIR-NEERI, a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), offers valuable exposure to significant national R&D projects and a prestigious institutional environment. While this specific position is temporary and does not guarantee long-term career progression or regularization, it provides excellent project-based experience in environmental engineering and research, enhancing future career prospects in related scientific fields.
