G. B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology 2026 Recruitment: 1 Junior Research Fellow (JRF) Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated individuals holding an M.Sc. (Ag) in Genetics & Plant Breeding or M.Sc. in Biotechnology/Genetics/Botany with specialization in Genetics & Plant Breeding. Candidates should possess a strong academic foundation (a 4-year Bachelor's degree or a 3-year Bachelor's with M.Sc. and NET) and demonstrate working knowledge of molecular markers. Aspiring researchers eager to contribute to cutting-edge projects focused on developing heat-tolerant and climate-resilient wheat cultivars will find this position rewarding.

Candidates who do not meet the specified postgraduate and undergraduate qualification requirements, or who lack a background in molecular genetics and NET qualification (which is highly desirable), should reconsider applying. Those seeking a permanent government employment may find the contractual, project-based nature of this fellowship (extendable till June 2026) less suitable.

Working as a Junior Research Fellow at G. B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, a renowned institution in agricultural research, offers a valuable opportunity to engage in a significant project. This position provides excellent exposure to advanced genomics and plant breeding techniques, enhancing one's research profile and paving the way for further academic or research career advancements in a crucial field like climate-resilient agriculture.
