Junior Research Fellow

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates (Master's or BE/B.Tech with relevant experience) who possess strong skills in statistical analysis, R/Python programming, commodity modelling, GIS, and spatial database management. Candidates seeking an opportunity to contribute to a significant government-sponsored research project (MoEFCC) and potentially pursue a PhD at BITS Pilani, Goa Campus, would find this position particularly suitable.

Candidates looking for permanent government employment or those requiring a high number of vacancies should not apply, as this is a temporary research fellowship for a single position. Individuals unwilling to work in Goa or who do not meet the minimum 2 years of experience requirement will also find this unsuitable. There is no application fee, but TA/DA will not be provided for interviews.

BITS Pilani is a highly reputed institution in India. Working on a MoEFCC-sponsored project offers significant academic and research exposure, potentially leading to a PhD, which adds substantial value to a career. While it is a temporary position, the institutional prestige and the nature of the research provide excellent foundational experience for a career in environmental science, data analytics, or academia.
