Project Associate II

This role is ideal for research enthusiasts with an M.Sc., B.Tech/B.E., or M.Tech/M.E. in Microbiology or Biotechnology, particularly those with NET/GATE qualifications and at least 2 years of hands-on R&D laboratory experience. It suits individuals seeking temporary, project-based work within a national research institute.

Candidates looking for permanent government employment should not apply, as this position is purely temporary and co-terminus with the project. Those without the specified educational qualifications or the mandatory R&D experience (if applying with a B.Tech/B.E. degree) will not be eligible. This is not suitable for individuals seeking large-scale recruitment opportunities.

CSIR-NEERI is a well-regarded national environmental engineering research institute under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). While the position is temporary, it offers valuable experience in a specific R&D domain ('Smart Biorefinery'), which can significantly enhance a candidate's research profile and provide exposure to cutting-edge projects. This is a niche, specialized role with good institutional backing but limited long-term internal growth unless other permanent opportunities arise.
