Forest Research Institute Recruitment 2026: Walk-in for 11 Project Scientist & Research Fellow Posts

This recruitment is ideal for aspiring and experienced researchers with a strong academic background in Forestry, Botany, GIS, Geoinformatics, Agriculture, Biotechnology, Chemistry, or Biochemistry. Candidates holding Doctoral or Master's degrees, particularly those with prior research or teaching experience in relevant fields, will find these temporary fellowships highly suitable. The roles are well-suited for individuals seeking to contribute to environmental science, forest genetics, and tree improvement projects, especially those funded by agencies like Delhi Forest Department and IFFCO. A willingness to travel extensively for field observation and sample collection is essential.

Candidates primarily seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these positions are purely temporary fellowships. Individuals without the specified educational qualifications (Ph.D., M.Sc., or B.Sc. in relevant disciplines) or lacking the required research experience for higher posts will not be suitable. Those unable to relocate to Dehradun for the interview or unwilling to undertake extensive field travel should also reconsider applying.

The Forest Research Institute (FRI), under the Indian Council of Forestry Research & Education (ICFRE), is a nationally renowned institution with a strong reputation in forestry research and education. Securing a fellowship here offers excellent exposure to cutting-edge research projects and provides a solid foundation for a career in environmental science, forest management, and biotechnology. While the positions are temporary, the experience gained from working with a prestigious research body like FRI can significantly enhance career prospects and open doors to future opportunities in both public and private sectors.
