CSIR Vacancies, Jobs and Careers

The CSIR is passionate about creating a unique space for staff to realise their potential, a platform where bright minds can find the support, interaction and knowledge to help them shine even brighter.

At the CSIR you’ll find a corporate culture committed to developing, rewarding and recognising staff while furthering science, in theory as well as in practise.

Green lawns; abundant fauna and flora; warm, welcoming people – on your first visit to the CSIR’s main campus, Scientia, you may find it hard to believe that this picture of beauty and tranquillity is also home to cutting-edge science and technologies.

Choosing the right career is an integral part of life. Your career choice will determine where you go, what you learn, who you meet. It will allow you to unleash your full potential and live out your passions.

It is therefore important to make informed decisions. The more seriously you plan for a successful and fulfilling career, the more opportunity there is of finding a career in which you can grow and thrive.

For these sciences and technologies to be created, highly skilled people are required. Our people are right brain thinkers. They think laterally, they see every challenge as an opportunity, and they are comfortable in the innovative world of research and development. But they are also left brain thinkers, characterised by talent and commitment to excellence – prepared to break new ground and comfortable in the tough, disciplined world of science. The career opportunities at the CSIR are endless. Employees are encouraged and supported on the career path they wish to take. Through development programmes, training and mentoring, they can reach their full potential and fulfil their personal career goals.

 

 

 

CSIR Graduate Programmes and Job Opportunities

The CSIR regards young researchers with great importance as you are the next generation that has the biggest role to play in transforming the science, engineering and technology skills base in South Africa.

The CSIR firmly believes in nurturing and developing the expertise of young scientists, ensuring that you are not only able to conduct research independently, but that you can also be role models for students and learners.

The research human capital that we build within the CSIR contributes to the development of a national pool of scientists, engineers and technologists. The positioning statement of the CSIR, “our future through science”, expresses the unshaken resolve of the CSIR to harness the power of science and technology for building a prosperous future for South Africa.

This future can, however, materialise only if young people move into careers in science, engineering and technology in bigger numbers than before.

The CSIR contributes to this effort by providing opportunities for skills development and career progression through creating a vibrant research culture.
