Project Associate I

This role is ideal for M.Sc. graduates in Microbiology, Biotechnology, or Biochemistry with a minimum of 55% marks, who are actively seeking temporary research project positions. Candidates who have qualified national-level examinations such as CSIR-UGC NET, GATE, or similar, will receive higher emoluments. A preference for candidates with experience in gene cloning is noted, making it suitable for those with relevant practical skills.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, project-based engagement with no implicit right to regularization. Those who do not meet the minimum educational qualification (M.Sc. with 55% marks) or are awaiting final semester results are not eligible. Candidates expecting a high number of vacancies or immediate career progression within the institute may find this role less suitable.

CSIR-NEERI is a prestigious national research institute under the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, offering a valuable opportunity to gain experience in cutting-edge environmental research. While the role is temporary and project-specific, it provides an excellent stepping stone for a career in scientific research and enhances academic credentials. It offers exposure to significant R&D projects, contributing to a strong professional portfolio.
