Junior Research Fellow, Lab Technician & Field Assistant

This role is most suitable for science graduates and postgraduates, particularly those with a background in Chemistry or Environmental Science, who are seeking project-based research experience. It is ideal for individuals in the early stages of their career looking to gain practical experience within a government research environment. Candidates with good computer knowledge and a keen interest in environmental protection and research related to heavy metals in soil would be a strong fit.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or roles with higher, performance-based pay scales should not apply, as these are temporary, project-based positions with fixed remuneration. Candidates who do not meet the specified educational qualifications (M.Sc. or B.Sc. in relevant science disciplines) will not be considered.

Working with the State Pollution Control Board, Odisha, a state government body under the Department of Forest, Environment and Climate Change, offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to significant environmental research projects. While the positions are temporary and co-terminus with the project duration, they provide substantial experience in environmental science and research within a governmental framework. This can be a beneficial stepping stone for future career prospects in the environmental and research sectors, despite the limited long-term growth opportunities within these specific temporary roles.
