IISER Pune Multi-Post Recruitment 2026

IISER Pune Multi-Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune is filling teaching-outreach and administrative roles for a privately funded project based at Pimpri Chinchwad Science Park. The work connects science learning with schools, colleges, teachers and the public through practical STEM activities. The teaching posts combine content creation with field outreach, while the administrative position keeps the programme’s records, purchases and coordination moving. These are temporary project engagements, not regular IISER cadre posts.

Posts and Disciplines

• Senior Teaching Associate: a lead outreach role for coordinating with schools, colleges and government authorities, designing hands-on STEM material, running events and building teacher networks. It suits someone with deeper experience in education, teaching or pedagogy.
• Teaching Associate: a delivery-focused role covering STEM workshops, competitions and hackathons for students, teachers and the public. You also help create models and learning activities that can extend beyond the school syllabus.
• Administrative Assistant: an office and project-support role handling reports, spreadsheets, participant contacts, bills, purchase records, filing, equipment logs and coordination with educational institutions.

Post-wise Duties

Senior Teaching Associate

You will plan outreach with schools, colleges and public authorities, guide hands-on events, organise project meetings and document activities through booklets, short films and photo sequences. The role also covers equipment, supplies and project reporting, so it mixes teaching practice with programme ownership.

Teaching Associate

You will conduct STEM workshops and public-learning activities, create school-friendly content, design working models and support meetings and teacher networks. You will also help keep science equipment and project material organised between events.

Administrative Assistant

You will keep finance, purchase and administration records, maintain the filing system, track workshop material and inventory, and coordinate with schools and other authorities. Strong office software and written communication skills are useful because the position supports both daily transactions and project documentation.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: each appointment starts for one year and may continue only if performance is satisfactory and the project remains active.
• Project status: the engagement ends automatically when the project ends, without a claim to absorption by IISER Pune or the funding agency.
• Work calendar: selected staff follow the Science Park’s working hours and holiday calendar; weekends and public holidays are working days, with the weekly off taken on a weekday.
• Travel: Pune is the headquarters, but the work can involve visits to urban and rural locations across India.
