NISER RA Chemistry Recruitment 2026

NISER Research Associate-I Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Institute of Science Education and Research Bhubaneswar (NISER) is recruiting a Research Associate-I for an externally funded project in its School of Chemical Sciences. Based at Jatni in Odisha, this postdoctoral appointment is connected to a study of infrared-active plasmonic structures combined with two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides. The institute is an autonomous research institution under the Department of Atomic Energy.

The ANRF-funded project studies ultrafast charge-carrier dynamics in these combined structures for broadband optoelectronic applications. Its focus connects the material structures with the behaviour of charge carriers, so the notice places this appointment within a specific research project. You would join that project through a temporary research contract.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial tenure: Your appointment is for one year or until the project finishes, whichever happens first. The position remains tied to the project throughout the engagement.
• Possible extension: NISER may extend the appointment if the project continues and your performance is satisfactory. Both conditions matter; an extension is not promised by the initial offer.
• Institute employment: The research appointment does not give you a right or claim to consideration for, or absorption into, another NISER post.
• Travel costs: NISER will not pay travel or daily allowances for attending the interview or for joining the position. You should take this condition into account when planning travel to the institute.
• Application accuracy: The form includes a declaration that your information is true. Incorrect information found at any stage can lead to cancellation of your candidature.
