Senior Project Associate & Project Assistant

This recruitment is ideally suited for highly motivated Ph.D. holders (for Senior Project Associate) and M.Sc. graduates (for Project Assistant) in Physics, Chemistry, or Materials Science. Candidates with specialized experience in energy storage, battery materials, electrochemical characterizations, analytical techniques, and device testing, as well as those with prior project work in energy materials, will be preferred. It's a prime opportunity for individuals seeking temporary, project-funded research roles within a prestigious national institute to advance their scientific careers.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those without the specified advanced educational qualifications (Ph.D. or M.Sc. in relevant fields) should not apply. Those looking for non-research-oriented roles or lacking any hands-on experience in the mentioned areas, despite the 'preference' status, may find themselves less competitive for these specialized positions. The contractual and temporary nature of these appointments is also a dealbreaker for candidates seeking long-term job security.

IISER Pune is an Institute of National Importance, offering a highly reputable and stimulating research environment. While these positions are temporary and project-based, they provide invaluable experience working on cutting-edge research in energy materials, which can significantly boost an individual's academic and research profile. This experience can serve as a strong foundation for future opportunities in research, academia, or specialized industry roles, enhancing long-term career growth in scientific fields.
