Working Plan Associate

This role is ideal for highly specialized candidates with an M.Sc. in Botany, Zoology, Forestry, or Wildlife, holding at least 60% marks from a recognized university. Candidates must be physically fit for extensive travel in mountainous regions and possess excellent computer skills. Preference will be given to individuals with prior experience in forestry/wildlife research and biodiversity surveys, who are looking for a short-term, impactful engagement with the Uttarakhand Forest Department.

Candidates seeking permanent employment or roles with a higher number of vacancies should not apply, as this is a single, contractual position for a fixed term of one year. Those without the specified Master's degree or who are not prepared for field-intensive work in challenging terrains would find this role unsuitable.

Working with the Forest Department of Uttarakhand offers valuable experience in conservation and biodiversity management, which can enhance one's professional profile within the environmental sector. While the role is contractual and the number of vacancies is low, it provides a unique opportunity to contribute directly to forest planning and research initiatives in a state known for its rich biodiversity. This could serve as a significant stepping stone for specialized roles in both government and non-governmental organizations in the future.
