ICAR-IARI Senior Research Fellow Recruitment 2026 (2 Posts)

This role is most suitable for young, driven researchers with a strong academic background in Computer Science or Information Technology, specifically with a Master's degree (or a B.Tech with NET qualification). Candidates should possess at least two years of relevant research experience, particularly in developing web-based systems, databases, AI tools, and statistical modeling. Those seeking exposure to cutting-edge agricultural technology research within a prestigious central institute in New Delhi, and who are comfortable with a contractual, project-based tenure, will find this position ideal.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely contractual and temporary positions. Candidates without the specified essential educational qualifications (Master's degree or B.Tech with NET) and a minimum of two years of research experience will not meet the eligibility criteria. Those unable to attend an in-person interview in New Delhi on the specified dates should also consider alternative opportunities.

ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) is a premier national institute, offering significant prestige and an excellent platform for research and professional growth. Working as a Senior Research Fellow at IARI, even on a contractual basis, provides invaluable experience in advanced agricultural data science and technology. The exposure gained in an institute of this calibre can significantly boost one's profile for future academic, research, or scientific roles in India and abroad, making it a strong stepping stone for career progression despite its temporary nature.
