The engagement is purely on a temporary and contract basis under the externally funded /empanelment/other project undertaken by CSIR-NEERI which may be extended or curtailed depending on the status/duration of the project, satisfactory performance/conduct of the Project Assistants/Associates. Their placement under externally funded/ sponsored projects will be co-terminus with the project duration. Maximum duration in one project or in different projects taken together in CSIR shall not be more than five years in any case.

The prescribed essential qualifications are the minimum and should be in the area mentioned as above. Mere possession of the same does not entitle candidates to be called for interview/test. The duly constituted Screening Committee will adopt its own criteria for short-listing the candidates. The candidate should, therefore, mention in the application all the qualifications and experience in the relevant area over and above the minimum prescribed qualification, supported with documents and ensure that all details are complete and accurate.

The names of short listed candidates will be published on CSIR-NEERI web site indicating the date of interview or they will be informed by email. The cut-off date for the maximum age limit will be the date of application. Short-listed candidates are required to appear before the Assessment and Recruitment Committee for Projects (ARCP) for a personal interview and /or test at NEERI, Nagpur. No TA will be admissible for appearing at the interview/test.

The engagement shall be an assignment and not an appointment in CSIR/NEERI, temporary or otherwise. It would, therefore, not confer any right/claim, implicit or explicit on the candidates for regularization/absorption against any post in CSIR-NEERI or under any other scheme of CSIR. However, each candidate is encouraged to improve his/her qualification during the tenure.

All eligible and interested candidates may apply through online application link process. After online submission of form, candidates are requested to take printout of the application form. In case candidates are called for the interview, candidates have to bring printed (duly signed by candidates) application form supported by self-attested copies of document in support of date of birth, educational qualifications and experience etc. (to be brought at the time of interview only). The application sought is not against any vacant position but the purpose is to have a pool of applications. As and when the vacancy arises, candidates who applied will be screened and based on the screening criteria, will be called for interview and final selection will be made against the vacant position. Candidates are advised to check the institute website (www.neeri.res.in.) from time to time for updated information.
