National Institute of Hydrology (NIH) Project Assistant Recruitment 2026 | 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for science graduates or engineering diploma holders who are passionate about environmental research, particularly in hydrology and water resource management. Candidates should be comfortable with field and laboratory investigations in remote locations like Phek District, Nagaland. Those with prior research experience, relevant publications, or higher qualifications will have a distinct advantage. It's a great opportunity for individuals seeking short-term, project-based contractual work within a prestigious Central Government institution.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary and co-terminus contractual position. Those unwilling to travel to or reside in Phek District, Nagaland for field work, or uncomfortable with a walk-in interview process, should also reconsider. Candidates who do not meet the minimum educational qualifications (Bachelor's in Science or 3-year Diploma in Engineering/Technology) are ineligible.

The National Institute of Hydrology (NIH) is a well-regarded Central Government institution under the Ministry of Jal Shakti. While this is a temporary project-based role, it offers valuable experience working on a significant research project. This stint can enhance a candidate's profile for future research or government positions, particularly within environmental science and water resources domains. The project's focus on ground and surface water interaction provides critical, hands-on experience in a relevant and impactful field.
