BHU Project Associate Geophysics Recruitment 2026: Overview
Banaras Hindu University (BHU) is recruiting project staff in its Department of Geophysics, Institute of Science, Varanasi. The Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) sponsors the work under the Monsoon Mission programme. The project examines model energetics at seasonal to sub-seasonal scales over Eastern Uttar Pradesh, and the appointment is tied to this research project.
Posts and Disciplines
- Project Associate-I: The notice uses this designation for the first and second years of the project appointment. This is the entry role described in the recruitment advertisement.
- Project Associate-II: The notice sets out this designation for the third year. Read it as the later-year arrangement for the same project positions, rather than a separate additional set of openings.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Project scope: The work belongs to the study titled Comprehensive Verification and Evaluation of Model Energetics for Seasonal to Sub-seasonal scale over Eastern Uttar Pradesh, identified as P-07/1342. The geographic focus describes the study area; the recruiting department is at BHU in Varanasi.
- Tenure: The project was sanctioned for three years on 10 June 2025. Your appointment is temporary and ends with the project, so the notice does not offer a fresh three-year term starting from your joining date.
- Interview communication: If you are shortlisted, the department will contact you through email only. Keep the address provided in your application available for that communication.
- Travel: You will not receive TA/DA for attending the interview. Plan your participation with that condition in mind.

Bhatla, Principal Investigator, Department of Geophysics, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 221005, and also email it to rbhatla@bhu.ac.in.
