Field/Lab Assistant

This role is ideal for individuals holding an Intermediate/12th pass in agriculture, science, or related subjects, who are seeking an entry-level contractual position in a leading agricultural research institution. Candidates with prior practical experience in field or laboratory work, including equipment handling, will find this opportunity particularly suitable. It offers valuable exposure to research projects within a prestigious environment.

Candidates aspiring for permanent government employment or those who do not meet the essential educational qualification (12th pass in relevant subjects) should not apply. The position is purely contractual, temporary, and co-terminus with the project (ending December 2027), with no claim for regularization. Individuals unwilling to work on a time-bound project basis or relocate to New Delhi for this specific tenure will find this unsuitable.

Working at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), a renowned central government autonomous body, offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's resume. While this is a contractual project-based position and does not guarantee long-term career progression within IARI, the experience gained in a prominent research setting on an ICARDA-funded project ('Quality Improvement in Wheat') can be a strong foundation for future opportunities in agricultural research or related fields. It provides an excellent opportunity to contribute to significant scientific work.
