Project Associate I

This role is ideally suited for candidates holding a B.E./B.Tech or Master's degree in Material Science, Metallurgy, Chemical Engineering, Agriculture, Veterinary Science, Zoology, Computer Science, or Information Technology. Individuals seeking temporary, project-based work in a prestigious government research environment, particularly those with strong academic records (NET/GATE qualified for higher emoluments), will find this opportunity suitable for gaining valuable research experience.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely temporary and contractual positions with a maximum engagement period until March 31, 2027. Those looking for long-term career stability or significant immediate career progression beyond a project role may find this unsuitable due to its time-bound nature and lack of assurance for absorption or regularization.

The CSIR-Traditional Knowledge Digital Library Unit, under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), offers a highly reputable scientific environment. While the positions are temporary, working with a prestigious institution like CSIR provides invaluable experience, enhancing credentials for future research, academic, or government roles. The project's focus on preserving traditional knowledge also offers a unique and impactful research area.
