Project Assistant

This role is ideal for candidates holding a B.Sc. in Forestry or Medical sciences, particularly those with a background in taxonomic knowledge of medicinal plants and practical fieldwork experience in mountainous regions like Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, and Himachal Pradesh. Proficiency in computer applications such as MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint will be an added advantage. It suits individuals seeking a temporary, project-based research opportunity within a central government autonomous body.

Individuals aspiring for permanent government employment should not apply, as this position is purely temporary and co-terminus with the project. Candidates without the essential B.Sc. qualifications or those unwilling to undertake extensive fieldwork in challenging geographical areas will find this role unsuitable. There are no provisions for online or email applications, requiring manual submission.

ICFRE is a well-regarded Central Government autonomous body under the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, India, focusing on scientific research. While this Project Assistant position is temporary, it offers valuable hands-on experience in a specialized research domain, enhancing scientific skills and providing exposure to government research protocols. It can serve as a stepping stone for future research or environmental science careers, despite not offering long-term institutional commitment.
