Junior Project Fellow & Project Assistant

This opportunity is ideal for recent Postgraduates (M.Sc.) or Graduates (B.Sc.) in Forestry, Agroforestry, Botany, or Environmental Science who are eager to gain research experience within a Central Government institution. Candidates should be willing to undertake extensive touring, possess basic computer application skills, and have a genuine interest in scientific evaluation of tree transplantation projects. It's particularly suitable for those seeking temporary, project-based roles and aiming for a career in forest research.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are temporary fellowship positions with consolidated pay. Candidates without the specified academic qualifications or those who are unwilling to work on a project-specific basis would find this unsuitable. While experience is desirable, a lack of foundational knowledge in the relevant scientific fields will be a critical barrier.

The Forest Research Institute (FRI), under ICFRE, is a prestigious Central Government body dedicated to forestry research. While these are temporary fellowship roles, working at FRI offers significant exposure to cutting-edge research in environmental science and forestry, enhancing one's profile for future academic or research positions. It provides a strong foundation and networking opportunities within India's premier forestry research sector, though direct long-term employment is not guaranteed.
