Project Associate PAT I, Senior PAT & Other Posts

This opportunity is ideal for ambitious science and engineering graduates or postgraduates, including Ph.D. holders, eager to kickstart or advance their research careers in a prestigious national laboratory. Candidates with relevant specialization in Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Food Science, or related fields, particularly those with a strong academic record (NET/GATE qualification preferred for higher stipends) and practical research/project experience, will find these temporary project-based roles fulfilling. Individuals passionate about contributing to bioresource technology, sustainable development, and Himalayan research will thrive in this environment.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment immediately should note that these are purely temporary, project-specific contractual positions offering no implicit right to regularization. Those who cannot attend the walk-in interviews on the specified dates with all original documents, or do not meet the strict age and qualification criteria, should not apply. Individuals looking for roles with long-term job security or a clear promotion path within CSIR's permanent cadre might find these roles less suitable.

CSIR-IHBT is a reputed national research institute under the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, offering an excellent platform for scientific exploration. While the positions are temporary, working here provides valuable experience, exposure to cutting-edge research, and an opportunity to collaborate on significant national projects. It enhances a researcher's resume significantly, paving the way for future opportunities in both academia and industry.
