Research Associate, Junior Research Fellow & Other Posts

This opportunity is ideal for fresh graduates and postgraduates, as well as Ph.D. holders with specific research experience in Forestry, Agriculture, Biotechnology, Life Sciences, or Botany. Candidates with a strong academic background and a keen interest in temporary, project-based research roles will find this suitable. Those looking for exposure to government research institutions and willing to work on specific forestry-related projects should consider applying.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are temporary, project-specific roles. Candidates without the specified academic qualifications or without the mandatory 3 years of research experience for the Research Associate-I post will not be eligible. Those expecting higher pay scales or HRA benefits may find the fixed emoluments unattractive. The limited number of vacancies (8 total) also suggests high competition.

ICFRE-Tropical Forest Research Institute is a respected central government research body under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. While the positions are temporary, they offer valuable experience in a prestigious research environment, enhancing academic and professional profiles. Long-term growth prospects would depend on future project opportunities or the ability to leverage this experience for permanent roles elsewhere in the research sector.
