ICAR-IARI Regional Station Recruitment 2026: 2 Field Assistant Vacancies

This opportunity is ideal for individuals holding an Intermediate (10+2) qualification with Science or Agriculture backgrounds, possessing 1-3 years of laboratory or field experience relevant to agricultural research. Candidates must be willing to work on temporary, project-specific contracts and potentially travel for field trials within Himachal Pradesh. This role suits those looking for short-term engagement in a government research setup, particularly individuals with experience in pathogen isolation, pesticide applications, or horticulture.

Applicants seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these positions are strictly temporary and co-terminus with project duration. Individuals without the specified minimum experience (1-3 years depending on the project) in lab/field work, or those unwilling to work on contractual terms, will not be suitable. Candidates requiring travel reimbursement for the interview should also note that TA/DA will not be provided.

Working with ICAR-IARI, a premier agricultural research institute under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, offers valuable experience within the central government's research framework. While the positions are contractual, they provide an excellent opportunity to contribute to significant agricultural research projects, enhancing a candidate's profile for future research or government roles. The scope for long-term growth within this specific contractual engagement is limited, but it serves as a strong foundational or transitional experience.
