ICAR-IARI Project Assistant Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy in Seed Science & Technology

This role is ideal for fresh graduates with a strong academic background (first-class or OGPA > 7.5) in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, or general Life Sciences. Candidates with a keen interest in plant virology, seed transmission studies, and molecular techniques will find this opportunity particularly engaging. Those with up to 3 years of experience in basic molecular techniques and virus screening are desirable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, contractual position tied to a specific project. Candidates without a first-class graduate degree in the specified scientific disciplines or those unwilling to work on a project-based, time-limited assignment will not be suitable. The single vacancy implies extremely high competition.

Working at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) offers invaluable exposure within a premier central government agricultural research organization. While the position is contractual, it provides an excellent platform to gain hands-on research experience in a specialized field, contributing to significant scientific projects. This experience can serve as a strong foundation for future academic pursuits or career growth in agricultural science and research.
