Projects covered by the recruitment

The WII 20 project posts are spread across sea turtle monitoring in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, movement ecology of the Nicobar Megapode, the World Natural Heritage training centre, environmental-flow assessment for the Chambal and Tons rivers, and an assessment of underwater-tunnel construction effects on aquatic life in the Brahmaputra. Field duties may involve remote islands, river surveys, sample collection, GIS work, community interaction or research-station management. Applicants should read the work description for the position, not just the qualification line.

Qualification and eligibility

Project Assistant posts require a bachelor’s degree in science or a relevant social-science subject for the specified project. Project Associate roles accept prescribed four-year science degrees, relevant master’s degrees, veterinary science or selected engineering and technology qualifications. The Senior Project Associate post requires the listed advanced qualification plus experience, or a relevant doctoral degree.

Natural Sciences in the advertisement includes fields such as Wildlife Science, Zoology, Ecology, Environmental Science, Marine Science, Life Sciences and Geoinformatics. Some posts also accept Agriculture, Forestry, Veterinary Science, Computer Science, GIS, data or engineering backgrounds.

How the 20 posts were filled, counted from the three published lists

WII published the outcome in four documents rather than one, so no single page states how competitive this was. Counting the application IDs in each gives the figures below. The links themselves are in the Important Links section above.

Authenticity check

Rechecked against the WII recruitment listing and the four signed PDFs on 12.09.2026. Advertisement 1/RP-CELL/July 2026 is closed and decided. The successor advertisement, WII/ADVT. 1/RP–CELL/August 2026 of 15.08.2026 covering 22 positions, is closed too: a corrigendum of 31.08.2026 extended its closing date only to 05 September 2026. WII is an autonomous institute under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, and these roles are project appointments, not permanent central-government cadre posts. Last fact-checked on 12.09.2026.
