Research Associate III

This role is ideal for highly motivated Ph.D. holders or experienced M.E./M.Tech./M.V.Sc. postgraduates in Environmental Science, Engineering, or Chemical Engineering with a strong research background. Candidates with specific expertise in water/wastewater treatment, constructed wetlands, pollution control, or bioelectricity generation, coupled with a consistent academic record, will find this position particularly suitable. NET/GATE qualification and computing skills are desirable.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a temporary, project-based role co-terminus with the project duration (up to 31st December 2026). Those who do not meet the stringent academic requirements (minimum 60% marks/CGPA >=6.5/10) or lack the specified research experience (if applying with a Master's degree) will not be considered. Applicants without a strong foundation in the relevant environmental engineering and science domains would also find this role challenging.

As a Research Associate-III at the National Institute of Technology Delhi, an autonomous institute under the Ministry of Education, this position offers a credible platform for research within a central government academic ecosystem. While temporary, it provides valuable experience in a MoEFCC-funded project, enhancing one's profile for future academic or research roles in reputable institutions. The project's focus on bioelectricity generation and wastewater treatment addresses critical environmental challenges, contributing to a meaningful research portfolio.
