Senior Project Associate

This role is ideal for experienced PhD holders in Environmental, Chemical, or related sciences seeking a temporary, project-based research position with a Central Government organization. Candidates with a strong background in R&D, particularly in industrial, academic, or S&T organizations, and comfortable with field work and data analysis, will find this opportunity suitable.

Individuals without a PhD in the specified disciplines or lacking a minimum of two years of post-qualification research experience should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles with guaranteed long-term tenure, or candidates who require a specific physical job location outside Nagpur, may find this temporary project staff position unsuitable. Final semester candidates or those with awaited results are also ineligible.

CSIR-NEERI is a reputable national institute under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, offering valuable experience in environmental research. While the position is temporary and project-specific, it provides an opportunity to contribute to significant R&D projects (e.g., Ratle Hydro-Electric Project) and gain exposure to a leading scientific institution. Long-term career growth within CSIR-NEERI from this specific temporary project role is not guaranteed, and future engagements would require fresh applications.
