ICAR-CMFRI Recruitment 2026: Apply for 1 Young Professional-I Vacancy

This role is most suitable for fresh graduates or early-career professionals holding a B.F.Sc or B.Sc in Aquaculture or Biological Science, who are eager to gain practical experience in marine research, particularly in seaweed farming. Candidates with an M.F.Sc or M.Sc in Aquaculture, prior experience in seaweed farming, and swimming skills will be highly competitive. It is an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking short-term, project-based work in a unique island environment.

Individuals aspiring for permanent government employment or long-term career stability within ICAR-CMFRI should not apply, as this position is purely temporary, contractual, and co-terminus with the project (maximum two years). Applicants unwilling to relocate to Lakshadweep or those who do not meet the essential educational qualifications in aquaculture or biological science should also reconsider.

ICAR-CMFRI is a prestigious Central Government research institute, offering valuable exposure within a top-tier scientific organization. While this specific role is temporary, it provides hands-on experience in a critical national project ('Advancing Seaweed Farming through Technology Transfer and Demonstration in Lakshadweep'), contributing to a growing and important sector. It serves as a significant stepping stone for building a professional network and gaining specialized skills in marine biology and aquaculture, though direct long-term career progression from this particular post is not implied.
