Uttarkashi Forest Division Subject Matter Expert (Silviculture & Forest Management) Recruitment 2026 - 01 Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly experienced forestry professionals, particularly retirees or pensioners from Central/State Government or autonomous research institutions. Candidates must possess a Postgraduate Degree or Diploma in Forestry Science, coupled with a substantial 15 years of experience in forest growth and management. Crucially, a strong understanding of Uttarakhand's geographical region and proficiency in MS-Office, Excel, and data analysis are essential for performing field surveys and preparing working plans.

Freshers or individuals with less than 15 years of relevant experience in forestry management are unsuitable. Those primarily seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a contractual position, initially for one year, with no guarantee of long-term tenure. Candidates lacking specific expertise in silviculture and forest management, or familiarity with Uttarakhand's unique environmental context, would also find this role challenging.

While a contractual role, this position offers a unique opportunity for seasoned experts to leverage their deep knowledge in a specialized area vital to forest conservation and management within a State Government Forest Division. The prestige lies in contributing to the critical task of working plan preparation, a fundamental aspect of sustainable forestry. However, career growth within this specific engagement is limited to the contractual term, making it more of an expert advisory role rather than a progressive career path in public service.
