Junior Project Fellow

Ideal for M.Sc. graduates in Botany/Plant Sciences (with at least 55% marks) who possess a keen interest and prior experience in alpine ecology, vegetation analysis, ecological restoration, and extensive fieldwork in high-altitude Himalayan regions. Candidates comfortable with project-based, temporary roles focusing on environmental research and data analysis will thrive. Age up to 32 years (with government relaxations for eligible categories) is preferred.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those unwilling to undertake extensive fieldwork in challenging high-altitude environments should not apply. Candidates without specific experience in alpine ecology or related fields, even if meeting the minimum academic qualification, may find themselves at a disadvantage due to the 'desirable experience' clause. Those looking for a high-paying role should note the fixed emoluments.

Working as a Junior Project Fellow at the High Altitude Plant Physiology Research Centre within Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University (A Central University) offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to significant environmental research sponsored by MoEFCC. While the position is contractual and does not guarantee regular appointment, it provides excellent exposure to cutting-edge research in ecological restoration in the Himalayas, enhancing one's research profile and opening doors for future academic or research roles in environmental science.
