IT Officer, Programme Manager & Other Posts

These project-based roles are ideal for individuals holding postgraduate or doctoral degrees in life sciences, environmental sciences, wildlife biology, ecology, or related fields. Candidates should possess relevant work experience (2-5 years depending on the role) in areas such as database management, communication, training, wildlife conservation, wetland studies, GIS, or cave exploration. Strong communication skills, a willingness to work on temporary/contractual terms, and adaptability to challenging or remote environments are crucial.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely temporary, project-based positions. Individuals lacking the specific educational qualifications or the mandatory years of experience for particular roles will not be suitable. Those unwilling to travel extensively or work in diverse geographic locations (including remote islands or specific states like Mizoram) should also reconsider.

SACON, operating under the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEFCC), is a reputable institution in wildlife research and conservation. While these are contractual roles, they offer significant opportunities for hands-on research experience, skill development in specialized environmental domains, and networking within India's conservation sector. These positions can serve as valuable stepping stones for a career in environmental research, project management, or conservation, providing exposure to central government-backed projects.
