Wildlife Institute of India Recruitment 2026: 20 Project Positions in Wildlife Research

This recruitment is ideal for dedicated Indian Nationals with strong academic backgrounds (Doctoral or Master's degrees) in Natural Sciences, Engineering, or Veterinary Sciences. Candidates should possess relevant research or project experience in areas like wildlife conservation, ecology, biodiversity, GIS, or environmental sciences. Preference will be given to those with NET/GATE qualifications for Project Associate roles and extensive experience in training, capacity building, field surveys, and technical documentation. Ideal applicants are self-motivated, capable of independent work, and willing to work in remote field areas for project durations.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are temporary, project-based positions. Candidates without specific educational qualifications or the stipulated years of relevant R&D/project experience will not be suitable. Those unwilling to engage in fieldwork, adhere to project-specific tenures, or manage multiple responsibilities within research projects may find these roles challenging.

The Wildlife Institute of India (WII) is an esteemed autonomous institution under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India. These project positions offer a significant opportunity to contribute to critical wildlife research and conservation efforts at a national level. While the roles are temporary, they provide valuable experience, exposure to cutting-edge research, and networking opportunities within a prestigious scientific community, enhancing long-term career prospects in environmental research and policy.
