Senior Project Associate & Project Assistant

This opportunity is most suitable for researchers with a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or related fields for the Senior Project Associate role. Candidates with an M.Sc. or B.E./B.Tech. in relevant disciplines, particularly with at least one year of work experience, are ideal for the Project Assistant position. A strong background and hands-on experience in energy storage, battery materials, electrochemical characterization, and data analysis will be highly preferred. This role is ideal for those seeking project-based, temporary assignments within a prestigious research environment.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are temporary and contractual project-funded positions. Those without the specified educational qualifications or relevant experience in materials science, energy storage, or chemical engineering will find themselves unsuitable. The low number of vacancies (3 total) might also be a dealbreaker for candidates looking for higher chances of selection.

IISER Pune is an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, offering a highly reputable research environment. While the roles themselves are temporary and project-based, working at such an institution provides invaluable research experience, networking opportunities, and a strong foundation for future academic or research careers. Long-term growth directly within these specific project roles is limited, but the institutional prestige can significantly enhance a candidate's professional profile.
