Geophysicist

This role is ideal for highly specialized candidates holding a Postgraduate degree (M.Sc./M.Tech./Integrated M.Sc.-Ph.D.) in Geophysics or related fields. Applicants must possess a minimum of five years of practical experience in geophysical field and laboratory work, be Indian citizens, and permanent residents of Assam. The position suits individuals seeking a stable, permanent role within the Assam State Government, with a strong focus on technical expertise in geology and mining.

Candidates lacking the specified postgraduate qualifications in Geophysics or related disciplines, or those without the mandatory five years of relevant geophysical experience, should not apply. Individuals who are not Indian citizens or permanent residents of Assam are also ineligible. This is a single vacancy role, so candidates seeking multiple opportunities or less specialized positions will find it unsuitable. Those requiring higher age relaxations beyond the specified limits for reserved categories should also check carefully.

Working as a Geophysicist within the Directorate of Geology and Mining under the Assam Public Service Commission offers a prestigious opportunity within the state government. It provides a stable career path with a competitive pay scale and allowances as per Assam State Government rules. While it is a single vacancy, the role holds significant importance in the state's natural resource management. Long-term growth would typically involve internal promotions within the departmental structure.
