Field Assistant

This role is ideally suited for graduates, particularly those with a B.Sc. in relevant scientific disciplines, who possess strong practical skills in molecular biology, ecological research, and data analysis using tools like R Programming. Candidates with experience in avian ecology, bird song recording, and LiDAR data analysis, coupled with valid 2-wheeler and 4-wheeler driving licenses, will find this position a strong match. It is excellent for individuals seeking project-based research experience within a prestigious academic setting.

Individuals without a graduate degree or the specific technical skills in molecular biology, ecological fieldwork, and software like R/Raven Pro should not apply. Those lacking valid driving licenses will also be unsuitable. This is a temporary, contract-based position tied to a specific project, so candidates looking for permanent employment or long-term job security in a government sector may find it unsuitable.

IISER Tirupati is an institution of national importance under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, offering a highly reputable research environment. While the Field Assistant position is temporary and project-specific, working within such a prestigious institute and on a project funded by the Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies Fund offers valuable experience and networking opportunities that can significantly enhance one's profile for future academic or research endeavors.
