Project Associate I

This role is ideal for recent graduates holding a B.E./B.Tech degree in Civil or Chemical Engineering from a recognized university. Candidates who have qualified national level examinations like CSIR-UGC NET, ICAR NET, ICMR NET, GATE, or equivalent examinations conducted by Central Government Departments will receive higher emoluments. It suits individuals looking for temporary, project-based work in environmental research and project management, particularly those interested in gaining experience within a prestigious national research institute.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this position is purely temporary and co-terminus with the project. Those without the specified engineering degrees or who exceed the age limit of 35 years as of 28-07-2026 will not be eligible. Candidates looking for long-term career stability in a single role may find this position unsuitable due to its contractual nature.

CSIR-NEERI is a highly reputed national institute under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), offering significant exposure to R&D projects in environmental science. While the position is temporary, working at CSIR-NEERI can enhance a candidate's profile and open doors for future research or project-based roles. However, it does not guarantee long-term security or regularization within the institute.
