ICAR Agricultural Education Division Recruitment 2026: 1 Consultant Position

This role is most suitable for highly qualified individuals with a Master's or Ph.D. in Agricultural/Animal Science or Allied Science, possessing at least 5 years of experience in managing externally funded research projects or coordinating international student admissions. Candidates must demonstrate strong communication, organizational, and administrative skills, eager to contribute to strategic planning and operational support for international fellowship programs within a prestigious government-affiliated research institution.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contractual and temporary position. Applicants without the specific Master's degree or the required minimum 5 years of relevant experience will not be considered. Those uncomfortable with fixed-term engagements and without a proven track record in project coordination or international liaison should also reconsider.

Working with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) offers significant prestige and exposure, being a premier organization in agricultural research and education in India. This consultant role provides a unique opportunity to engage in international fellowship programs, offering valuable experience in strategic planning, stakeholder collaboration, and program management. While contractual, it serves as an excellent platform for networking and gaining high-level experience, which can be highly beneficial for future career growth in research, academia, or international development sectors.
