ACHARYA N.G. RANGA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY Research Associate (RA) Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a Ph.D. or Master's degree in Genetics & Plant Breeding, Seed Technology, or a relevant Post-graduate degree in Basic Sciences with NET qualification. Candidates must possess a minimum of 3 years of demonstrated teaching or research experience, supported by publications in peer-reviewed journals (SCI/NAAS rated >4.0 for certain qualifications). Passion for agricultural research, particularly in maize and millets, and a willingness to contribute to temporary project execution at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Lam, are essential.

Individuals lacking the specific doctoral or master's degrees, or those without the mandated minimum 3 years of research/teaching experience, should not apply. This position is strictly temporary (11 months), so candidates seeking permanent employment will find it unsuitable. The role is a walk-in interview, so those unable to attend in person on the specified date (March 31, 2026) cannot be considered.

Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University is a well-regarded state agricultural university, and the Regional Agricultural Research Station at Lam is a key center for crop research. While this is a temporary Research Associate position, it offers valuable hands-on experience in critical agricultural research areas like maize and millet improvement. It provides an excellent opportunity to enhance a research portfolio, gain exposure to institutional research methodologies, and contribute directly to agricultural development, potentially serving as a strong stepping stone for future academic or research careers in the field.
