Assam Agricultural University Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy for Assistant Project Scientist

This role is ideal for individuals holding a Master's Degree in Agriculture or Life Science who are keen to contribute to impactful climate adaptation research. Candidates with at least one year of field experience will find this position particularly suitable, demonstrating a practical understanding of project implementation and research methodologies. Those looking for a specific, project-based opportunity within a collaborative university and international agency framework will thrive.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a contractual role tied to a specific project. Those without the specified Master's Degree or a strong interest in climate adaptation and gender-transformative approaches may find the role unsuitable. The position offers a fixed remuneration, so candidates expecting higher or variable pay scales might be disappointed. Also, it's a walk-in interview requiring physical presence in Jorhat, Assam, without TA/DA.

Joining the Assam Agricultural University, a state-level institution, offers exposure to significant research under the Directorate of Research (Agri.). The project's collaboration with the World Food Programme and United Nations adds a layer of international recognition and impact, providing valuable experience in globally relevant climate adaptation initiatives. While a contractual role, it serves as an excellent stepping stone for career progression in research, development, and international project management, particularly in the fields of agriculture and environmental science.
