Senior Project Associate

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals with a strong academic background (B.E./B.Tech, M.Sc., M.E./M.Tech, or Ph.D.) in Environmental Science, Engineering, or Chemistry. Candidates must possess relevant R&D experience (2-3 years depending on qualification) in areas such as air pollution dispersion modelling, emission inventory, source apportionment, and data analysis using tools like R, Python, ML, or AI. A passion for contributing to significant environmental impact assessment projects and an adaptability to temporary, project-based assignments are essential.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary project-based position. Individuals without specific R&D experience in the mentioned environmental fields, or those whose essential qualifications/results are still awaited, will not be eligible. Those lacking proficiency in advanced data analysis tools or seeking roles with broader administrative responsibilities rather than specialized research work may find this role unsuitable.

CSIR-NEERI is a renowned national research institution, offering an excellent platform for specialized scientific contributions. While the position is temporary and co-terminus with the project, it provides invaluable exposure to cutting-edge environmental research, fosters professional growth within a prestigious scientific community, and offers opportunities for networking. Performance-based extensions are possible, contingent on project needs and fund availability, indicating potential for continued engagement in significant research endeavors.
