WII opens 12 contractual posts across six wildlife projects
The Story in Brief
The Wildlife Institute of India (WII) has invited online applications for 12 contractual positions across six wildlife research projects in Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Odisha, Karnataka, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand. The posts include Principal Project Associate, Senior Project Associate, Project Associate II, Project Associate I and an Administrative Assistant. Emoluments range from Rs 24,000 plus HRA for the Administrative Assistant to Rs 67,000 plus HRA for the Principal Project Associate.
The projects cover the Morand-Ganjal Irrigation Project's impact on wildlife in Madhya Pradesh, a conservation plan for the critically endangered White Bellied Heron in Arunachal Pradesh, a wildlife management plan for bauxite mines in Odisha, the Yettinahole Drinking Water Project in Karnataka, biodiversity assessment in Jharkhand's Saranda Forest and a sixth undesignated project. The application window opens on 30 October 2026 and closes on 13 November 2026. Only Indian nationals can apply, and only online at www.wii.gov.in.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The twelve openings are spread across six projects in seven states, meaning most successful applicants will work outside WII's Dehradun headquarters. Pay scales depend on whether the candidate holds NET/GATE qualification, those without get Rs 7,000 less per month on the Project Associate I posts. The short two-week application window starting 30 October and closing 13 November 2026 leaves little room for late applicants. Project 05 on Saranda Forest biodiversity carries a note of possible extension based on funding, leaving those selected without a guaranteed tenure beyond one year.
