ICAR-IVRI Recruitment 2026: Walk-in Interview for 03 Project Research Scientist and Technical Support II Posts

These roles are ideal for individuals with relevant postgraduate or graduate degrees and substantial experience in specialized scientific fields. Candidates with hands-on experience in BSL2/BSL3 facilities, molecular assays (especially real-time PCR), recombinant DNA technology, and cell culture will be highly competitive for the Project Research Scientist II position. For the Technical Support II role, candidates with a 12th-grade science background plus a diploma or a graduate degree, combined with relevant laboratory experience, are well-suited. These positions offer an excellent opportunity to contribute to a critical project focused on high-risk pathogen research within a prestigious government research institution.

Individuals primarily seeking permanent government employment should note that these are purely temporary and contractual positions, co-terminus with the project. Those without the specified post-qualification experience or a background in the relevant scientific disciplines (e.g., microbiology, biotechnology, IT/CS for specific roles) will not meet the eligibility criteria. Candidates exceeding the age limits (40 for Scientist II, 30 for Technical Support II) should not apply.

ICAR-IVRI, a constituent institute of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), is a leading national institution in veterinary research. Working on this ICMR-sponsored project, focused on national network creation for high-risk pathogen labs, offers significant exposure to advanced research methodologies and infrastructure. While the positions are contractual, they provide invaluable experience within a reputable government research environment, enhancing career prospects in the fields of public health, biotechnology, and infectious disease research.
