ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute Recruitment 2026: 1 Senior Research Fellow Vacancy

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate candidates with an M.Tech or M.Sc. in agricultural sciences, particularly those specializing in Soil & Water Conservation, Agronomy, or related fields. Candidates should possess a strong academic record and a keen interest in applying advanced technologies to regenerative agriculture. Preference will be given to individuals with specialization in micro-irrigation management, smart agriculture technologies, automation, machine learning, IoT, and AI-based applications. Those seeking temporary, project-based research exposure within a premier national institute will find this opportunity suitable.

Candidates looking for a permanent government position or long-term career stability should note that this is a purely temporary and contractual role, co-terminus with the project, with no provision for re-engagement or regularization. Those without the specified Master's degrees in the required disciplines will not be considered. Individuals unwilling to attend a physical walk-in interview in New Delhi on the specified date should not apply.

Working as a Senior Research Fellow at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (ICAR-IARI) offers significant prestige and exposure within the field of agricultural research. ICAR-IARI is a top-tier national institute, providing an excellent platform for contributing to cutting-edge projects and enhancing research credentials. While the position itself is contractual, the experience gained here is highly valued and can open doors to future academic or research opportunities in India's agricultural sector.
