Project Associate II

This role is ideal for candidates holding an M.Sc. in Remote Sensing and GIS/Geoinformatics with at least 2 years of relevant R&D experience. Those who have qualified national level examinations like NET or GATE are particularly well-suited due to the higher emoluments offered. The position requires working knowledge of remote sensing and GIS software, report writing skills, and a willingness to undertake extensive field work, making it suitable for hands-on research professionals seeking temporary project-based engagement in environmental studies.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-specific position with no implied right to regularization. Candidates without the specified M.Sc. qualification or the mandatory 2 years of R&D experience, as well as those awaiting final semester results or Ph.D. submission, are not eligible. Those who prefer office-only roles might find the extensive field work requirement a mismatch.

Working with CSIR-NEERI offers a prestigious opportunity to contribute to significant environmental engineering research under a well-regarded national institution. While the position is temporary and project-bound, it provides valuable experience, networking opportunities, and exposure to cutting-edge research in urban metabolism assessment. This can enhance a researcher's profile for future academic or project-based roles, though it does not offer long-term career progression within the institution itself.
