UPSC Recruitment 2026: Apply for 2 Anthropologist Vacancies

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a Master's degree in Anthropology (with specialization in Cultural, Physical, or Biological Anthropology) from a recognized university, coupled with a minimum of three years of dedicated research experience in the field. Candidates aspiring for a prestigious Group 'A' Gazetted, permanent position within the Central Government (Ministry of Culture) will find this opportunity appealing. Importantly, the positions are suitable for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) who meet the specified criteria.

Candidates lacking the specific Master's degree in Anthropology with the required specialization or falling short of the mandatory three years of research experience should not apply. Those exceeding the maximum age limits for their respective categories (35 for UR, 38 for OBC, etc.) as of the application deadline will also be ineligible. Given the very limited number of vacancies (two posts), the competition is expected to be extremely high.

As a Group 'A' Gazetted post with the Union Public Service Commission, this role offers significant prestige and a secure career path within the Central Government. The 'All India Service Liability' indicates potential for postings across various locations in India, offering diverse experiences. It presents a strong platform for anthropological research and contribution to national cultural understanding within a high-impact government setting.
