ICAR-CIFE Young Professional-II Recruitment 2026: 01 Vacancy for Fisheries Education

This role is ideal for highly specialized Master's degree holders in Fisheries Science (with specific specializations in Aquatic Animal Health, Fish Pathology, Microbiology, or Biotechnology) or in general Biotechnology, Microbiology, or Molecular Biology. Candidates with a strong academic record (1st Division or 60% marks) and desirable practical experience in microbiology, antibiotic susceptibility testing, molecular biology, and shrimp pathogen/sample collection will find this a relevant opportunity. It suits those seeking project-based, temporary employment within a research institution.

Individuals without a Master's degree in the specified fields, or those who do not meet the academic percentage criteria (60% or 1st Division), should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment or roles with a large number of vacancies may find this single-post, temporary, contractual position unsuitable. Lack of experience in the desirable areas, particularly molecular biology or aquatic health, could be a disadvantage.

Working at ICAR-CIFE, a Deemed University under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, offers significant prestige and exposure within the national agricultural and fisheries research community. While this specific role is temporary and project-based, it provides valuable experience in a critical research area (Antimicrobial Resistance) that can enhance a professional's resume for future research or academic positions in government or private sectors.
