Role overview
Summary

Best-Fit Profile
This role is ideal for experienced government officers from Central or State Governments, UT Administrations, Public Sector Undertakings, or Autonomous Organizations who are currently holding an analogous post on a regular basis, or have at least 2 years of regular service in relevant pay levels. Candidates with a strong background in administrative, establishment, finance, accounts, or procurement work, who are looking for a deputation opportunity within a prestigious environmental research institution, will find this a suitable advancement.
Important Considerations
Private sector employees are not eligible for this deputation-based role.

Career Impact
The Wildlife Institute of India is an autonomous institution under the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Government of India, offering a highly reputable and stable work environment. A deputation stint here provides valuable exposure to the intersection of administration and environmental conservation, enhancing professional credentials within the government sector. While a single vacancy limits promotional scope within this specific role, the experience gained is highly transferable within the broader government framework.
