ICFRE-Tropical Forest Research Institute Junior Project Fellow (JPF) Recruitment 2026: One Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduates holding a First Class M.Sc. in Forestry, Botany, Agriculture, Chemistry, Life Science, Biochemistry, or Environmental Science. Candidates with strong computer skills (MS Word, Excel, PPT) and data analysis capabilities, along with a keen interest in research related to forest management and environmental studies, particularly those with existing research publications, are a strong fit. The temporary, project-specific nature of the engagement suits individuals looking for short-term research experience and contributing to a focused ecological project.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or long-term career stability should not apply, as this position is purely temporary and co-terminus with the project duration of three years. Those without the specified First Class M.Sc. qualification or unwilling to work on a fixed emolument without HRA should also reconsider. Applicants expecting TA/DA for the interview will be disappointed, as it is not provided.

ICFRE-Tropical Forest Research Institute (TFRI) is a respected institution under the Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education, offering valuable exposure in forest research. While this specific Junior Project Fellow role is temporary and offers limited direct long-term growth within TFRI, it provides excellent foundational research experience and a strong publication opportunity. It can serve as a stepping stone for further academic pursuits or research roles in environmental science, enhancing one's resume with institutional prestige and practical project involvement.
