ICAR-IARI Senior Research Fellow (SRF) Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly motivated individuals holding a Master's degree in Agricultural Economics, Dairy Economics, Fisheries Economics, Economics, or Agricultural Statistics. Essential requirements include a valid NET qualification and a minimum of two years of dedicated research experience. Candidates who are passionate about contributing to sustainable food systems and addressing malnutrition in indigenous tribal communities, particularly within a project-based, contractual framework, will find this opportunity rewarding.

Candidates who do not possess a NET qualification or the stipulated two years of research experience should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment will find this contractual, project-bound role unsuitable. Individuals uncomfortable with the temporary nature of the position, which is co-terminus with the project (initially until March 2026), should also reconsider.

Working as a Senior Research Fellow at ICAR-IARI, a premier national institute under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, offers significant prestige and a valuable platform for research contribution. While the role is contractual, it provides excellent exposure to a critical national project and enhances a candidate's profile for future academic, research, or higher education opportunities within the agricultural domain.
