G.B. Pant National Institute of Himalayan Environment (NIHE) Recruitment 2026: 4 Junior Research Fellow & Project Assistant Positions

This opportunity is ideal for motivated Indian citizens holding a Master's degree in Botany/Plant Science (for JRF) or a Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences/Environmental Science/Agriculture (for PA), who are passionate about Himalayan environmental research. Candidates with desirable experience in plant taxonomy, field surveys, and database management, particularly those comfortable with temporary, project-based work in mountainous regions, will find these roles rewarding. NET/GATE qualified candidates are eligible for higher emoluments as JRF.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely temporary and project-based positions. Those unwilling to relocate to Sikkim or be posted anywhere in India for project work, or who require immediate long-term job security, will find this unsuitable. Candidates without the specified essential educational qualifications will not be considered.

The G.B. Pant National Institute of Himalayan Environment (NIHE) is a reputable autonomous institution focused on critical environmental research in the Himalayan region. While these are temporary project roles, they offer valuable hands-on experience in ecological studies, conservation, and data management within a nationally recognized research framework. These positions can serve as an excellent stepping stone for a career in environmental research and provide exposure to significant projects like the 'North-East Consortium of Medicinal & Aromatic Plants'.
