CSIR-IIIM Project Associate-I Recruitment 2026 - 3 Posts

CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine (CSIR-IIIM), Jammu has released Project Advertisement No. 13/2026 dated 25 June 2026. The posts are purely temporary and project-based under CSIR funded project MMP-075201, Phytopharmaceutical Mission Phase-III, tenable at CSIR-IIIM, Canal Road, Jammu. This notice covers two Project Associate-I positions for scientific disciplines and one Project Associate-I position for computer science/project administration support.

The engagement is linked to the project duration, currently up to 31 March 2027. Selection will be done through offline interview, and CSIR-IIIM may use screening criteria if many applications are received. You can interact with the selection committee in English or Hindi.

The PA-01 science posts are meant for candidates who can support phytopharmaceutical research work connected with chemistry, plant sciences, natural products, and related scientific areas. The PA-02 computer science post is different because it focuses more on digital tools, procurement support, project records, minutes, reports, and coordination in an R&D office setting. Read the post code carefully before submitting the form, because each code has a separate official Google Form link.
