Project Associate, Senior Research Fellow & Other Posts

This recruitment is ideal for highly motivated and specialized individuals with Master's or Doctoral degrees in Food Technology, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Botany, Agriculture, Horticulture, and related scientific or engineering disciplines. Candidates with prior research experience, especially those who have qualified NET/GATE or similar national-level examinations, are particularly well-suited for the Project Associate roles with higher stipends. Those seeking temporary, project-specific research opportunities in a prestigious Central Government institution will find these positions appealing.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment will find these roles unsuitable, as all positions are purely temporary and co-terminus with project duration, offering no right or claim for regularization. Candidates without the specified academic qualifications or relevant research experience, especially for Senior Research Fellow and Research Associate positions, should not apply. Those unable to attend the walk-in interviews in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, or unable to present original documents will be disqualified.

Working with CSIR-IHBT, a constituent laboratory of CSIR, offers significant prestige and exposure to cutting-edge research in Himalayan bioresource technology. While the roles are temporary, they provide valuable experience in a central government research environment, which can enhance future career prospects in academia, R&D, and specialized industries. The projects themselves are in areas of high scientific and societal relevance, offering opportunities for impactful contributions and networking within the scientific community.
