Project Associate I

This role is ideally suited for candidates holding an M.Sc. in Chemistry, Materials Science, or Physics, or a B.E./B.Tech in Material Science, Metallurgical & Materials, Ceramic, or Chemical Engineering. Preference will be given to those with knowledge in Chemistry, Coating, Glass Science, Ceramics, Material Science, or a computational background. It's perfect for individuals seeking project-based research experience within a national government research institute and those who have qualified national eligibility tests like CSIR-UGC NET or GATE.

Candidates without the specified postgraduate or undergraduate engineering qualifications will not be eligible. This position is contractual until March 2028, making it unsuitable for those seeking permanent government employment. Individuals who cannot adhere to the application deadline or interview verification requirements should not apply.

Working at CSIR-CGCRI, a constituent lab of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, offers significant prestige and exposure to high-level scientific research. While a project-based contract, it provides invaluable experience in advanced materials science and engineering, enhancing career prospects in both academic and industrial R&D sectors. The project's focus on nanocomposite coatings is a cutting-edge area, offering excellent learning and development opportunities.
