Project Associate I

This role is ideal for recent MSc or BS-MS graduates in Chemistry, particularly those with a strong foundation in physical/theoretical chemistry and a keen interest in computational chemistry, including DFT calculations. Candidates aspiring for research experience in a prestigious institution will find this temporary project position beneficial for their career development.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment or roles outside specialized computational chemistry research should not apply. Individuals without the specified chemistry qualifications or those primarily interested in roles involving experimental chemistry may find this position unsuitable. The temporary nature of the 12-month project (extendable based on funding) means it does not offer long-term job security.

National Institute of Technology (NIT) Silchar is a respected institution in India, offering a valuable platform for research exposure. While a project-based temporary position, it provides an excellent opportunity to gain specialized experience in advanced computational chemistry methodologies under the guidance of a faculty member. This experience, particularly within an ANRF-sponsored project, can significantly enhance a candidate's profile for future academic or research careers.
