ICFRE-Bamboo and Rattan Centre (ICFRE-BRC), a unit of ICFRE-Rain Forest Research Institute under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, has announced 2 Junior Project Fellow positions. The posts are linked to a teak project on timber availability assessment, geospatial mapping of Tectona grandis plantations and identification of candidate plus trees in Mizoram.

The project is practical and field-based. You may need to support plantation visits, field observations, mapping inputs and candidate plus tree identification in Mizoram.
