Technical Assistant Grade III

This role is ideal for M.Sc. graduates in Hydrochemistry or Chemistry with at least two years of experience in a research or analytical laboratory setting. Candidates seeking a short-term contractual position (initially one year, extendable up to two) within a university environment, particularly those with a focus on chemical oceanography, will find this opportunity suitable. Familiarity with academic research protocols and lab operations is crucial.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or high-volume recruitment opportunities should not apply, as this is a single-vacancy, contract-based position. Those without the specific M.Sc. qualification in Hydrochemistry/Chemistry or the mandatory two years of relevant lab experience will not meet the eligibility criteria.

Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) is a well-regarded state university. While this is a contractual position, it offers valuable experience in a specialized scientific department (Chemical Oceanography) within a reputable academic institution. This role provides good exposure for career development in research and analytical fields, though direct long-term stability within this specific contract is limited. It can serve as a strong stepping stone for future opportunities in academia or research organizations.
