National Institute of Hydrology NIH Recruitment 2026: Various Junior Research Fellow Posts

Ideal for postgraduate degree holders in Remote Sensing, GIS, Earth Science, Applied Geology, Environmental Science, or M.Tech in Civil/Water Resources/Agricultural Engineering, especially those with experience in GIS and Remote Sensing. Candidates who have qualified NET/GATE or other national-level examinations are highly preferred. This role suits individuals seeking project-based research experience in a central government institution.

Candidates without a relevant postgraduate or M.Tech degree, or those seeking a permanent government position, should not apply as this is a temporary, project-specific contractual role. Individuals who prefer remote work or are unable to attend the walk-in interview in Roorkee on the specified date should also avoid applying.

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 research experience within a prestigious scientific environment, potentially enhancing future career prospects in research or specialized fields like GIS and Remote Sensing for water resources. Long-term growth directly within this specific project is limited by its co-terminus nature, but the institutional exposure is significant.
