Project Associate I

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates holding an M.Sc. in Botany, Zoology, Fishery, Forestry, Environmental Science, or Agriculture. Preference is given to those who have qualified national-level examinations like CSIR-UGC NET or GATE, and are seeking temporary research opportunities. Candidates should be prepared for field studies, sample collection, analysis, and report writing, with a keen interest in environmental research projects at a prestigious national institute.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those who require long-term job security should not apply, as this position is purely temporary and project-based. Candidates without the specified M.Sc. qualifications or those unwilling to work in a contractual capacity will find this role unsuitable. Due to a single vacancy, competition will be high.

CSIR-NEERI is a highly reputed national research institute, offering an excellent platform for environmental science research. While the Project Associate-I position is temporary and project-specific, it provides invaluable experience in R&D, working on critical projects like 'Carbon Footprinting and Sequestration Study'. This role can significantly enhance a candidate's research profile and serve as a stepping stone for future academic or research careers, despite not guaranteeing long-term employment within CSIR.
