CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL) Project Associate Recruitment 2026

CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL), Pune, has released a project-based hiring notice for a Project Associate on the project titled "Indigenous Hybrid Cation Exchange Zeolite For On Board Oxygen Generation System." CSIR-NCL has been active in this research area for a while, with its zeolite work already supporting oxygen-generation upgrades for Indian Air Force aircraft such as the MiG-29, and this project extends that line of research. This is a temporary project appointment, not a permanent government post, so it best suits candidates looking to build hands-on research experience in materials chemistry.
